I had no idea how HUGE those gardens are, and we struggled to get around them all in the blazing hot sun. But they're amazing, so many things to look at. (If you're coming from central London, take a train from Waterloo to Surbiton, then the very infrequent \u003Ca href=\"http://www.londonbusroutes.net/times/514_515.htm\">515 bus\u003C/a> to Wisley Gardens.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns1-32d196dba0.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI managed to catch photos of Viv doing some full-on tree hugging, thought they didn't come out too badly! \\r\n\u003C!--more More photos under the cut!-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns_viv1-68cde515ce.jpg\"> \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns_viv2-1fb4a8d074.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nHere's my dad comparing gear with Pan.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns2-dea0d6c134.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nMy mother about to get eaten by a giant rhubarb:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns4-1d82bc7671.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd the crazy fish in the pond that freaked me out by actually SUCKING my fingers when I dipped them into the water. Talk about a weird sensation. They were practically crawling out of the pond, you can see them here half out of the water.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/wisleygdns3-aad4dcdb2f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI'm going to take a break from my blog for a week or so while my parents are visiting, but then I'll sure I'll have lots to talk about. See you soon! \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jabberworks.co.uk/new/events.html\">(Lots of upcoming events listed here.)\u003C/a>","2010-06-27T21:43:00.000Z","parents-viv-and-wisley-gardens",[],"parents, viv and wisley gardens",1776628718395]
