On Saturday Maria's mum, Lone (pronounced "Luna"), and I had a lovely afternoon at
Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. Lone was visiting from Denmark for the weekend. Maria was teaching an all day
sourdough course which meant Lone and I had a mother-daughter day.
Richmond, at just over 8 miles from central London, is a 30 minute train ride away. Then a short bus ride through Richmond to Petersham Street. The Nursery is down the adjacent unmarked alley. Good thing Lone knew the way!
We wandered the shop, peered in on the diners at the Michelin star restaurant, then ate our Teahouse lunch outdoors before purchasing some plants.

Inspired by the day, I'm starting my own English garden on my bedroom windowsill. Plant #1.
