Mothers day

Mothering Sunday, (for you sticklers) was celebrated with an attempted trip to Kew gardens, (against my express advice) which ended up it an hour of driving about in a fruitless attempt to find a parking spot, battling the other 100,000 mothers descending upon Kew to enjoy a traditional motherly walk amongst the blooms.
We eventually gave up and diverted to Osterley house arriving there at 3.50 to find the house and gardens shut promptly (in the way only the National Trust know how to be prompt) at 4pm.
A speed tour of the gardens was undertaken.
