Holiday

[ewx]

I've booked a couple of weeks off work in July.

The nearest thing to a well-formed plan I have so far is to wander around Kew Gardens sometime on a weekday and see what there is of interest to photograph. (They don't allow photography at weekends.) Company not unwelcome, but I might not reliably pay much attention to you unless you look particularly interesting at high magnification.

I'm also open to suggestions of other places to go that have interesting things to photograph (not necessarily ultra-closeup shots like I've been taking lately).

One of my PhD subjects, Leptopus colchicus, is currently flowering near the Temperate House and its flowers are too small for me to get any decent shots. Chocolate is on offer if you could do a pic! It has little green flowers and fruit, both about 7 mm across, but is extremely elegant *grin*

I'm a bit busy in the immediate future - how long is it likely to last?

[doseybat.livejournal.com]

Until about September - October judging by previous years, so no rush!

My time off work is now within my planning horizon. Are any days in the next couple of weeks particularly convenient/inconvenient for you?

[doseybat.livejournal.com]

Most days are ok, except the beginning of next week is a bit busy. I can be around 12 - 2 or after 3; could let you in in the morning to wonder around and meet you later?

We are currently thinking Monday (24th).

I'm slightly confused by the offer to help getting us in - I was expecting to just pay the day entrance fee and thus get in.

In the interests of being able to make contact on the day, my cellphone is 07971 347834.

I sent an email to the adress on your userinfo on Fri; are you still thinking of coming tomorrow?

[ewx.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed! Don't know at this stage whether it'll be just me or whether Vicky will be along too, however.

Vicky's pulled out, it'll just be me. Setting off the moment I get organized l-)
