A cracking start to a week off - what a treat to run through ⁦@kewgardens⁩ . Just so lovely. Plus knocked 5mins off my 10K time from last year. The horribly early alarm call was harder than the running! ⁦@RichmondRunFest⁩

I endorse this message! Was about to tweet about a lovely evening at the beautiful @kewgardens orchid festival, but these photos are superior to mine!

Just leaving the beautiful, colourful, tropical setting of @kewgardens #orchidfestival the perfect antidote to cold, dark wintry London. Transported to Indonesia for the night courtesy of Kew’s amazing horticulturalists and their amazing partners. Do yourself a favour and go.
