Kew Gardens

On Saturday Melissa and myself visited Kew Gardens (extensive gardens and botanical glasshouses between Richmond and Kew in southwest London, England). It was one of the best we have seen and it was a beautiful day. The red building in the photos was purchased by George III in 1781 as a nursery for the royal children.

Regent Rinos - Twenty 20 Cricket - Regents Park

We had the last game of the season on Tuesday night and finished with a great win. I had the best games in the first and last games of the season so lets just forget about the middle. I made about 28 runs, a diving one hand catch, a run out and won the skulling competition in this match. Jeff also did every well with the ball and got a few wickets. After the match we had a few beers at a pub near Baker St. So now that cricket has finished rugby will be taking over.

Cambridge

On Saturday morning we got the train to Cambridge, we were staying at a nice B&B just out of the city centre. On the first day we walked around the historic centre and visited the markets. We also had a look at some of the colleges including the famous Kings College. We also had a few beers and cocktails overlooking the canals full of people on punts. After a days drinking and relaxing we went to the botanical gardens, it was one of the best we have seen. On the Sunday we did some more relaxing by the water watching the college kids diving into the filthy water from bridges and swing ropes.
