Easterberry: Kew Gardens

oompa loompa, do-ba-dee-doo, we've got the perfect location for you. oompa loompa, do-ba-dee-dee where you are likely to see a tree.
after a pretty magical time at Willy Wonka's afternoon tea, we just could NOT get the confectionery wizard out of our brains luckily for us Kew Gardens are going through a similar obsession as this easter they're running some pretty spesh chocolate inspired activites safe to say we booked our tickets pretty soon after finding this out.

we're off to see Mr. Wonka, the wonderful genius of choc

first thing we noticed is that there's a lot of green everywhere

and some pretty impressively scary statues

but you know mostly the green thing

these crazy giant mushrooms had us feeling like Mr. Wonka had slipped us a shrinking potion!

but what a good excuse for an OOTD

OH NO now silly Wonka's chocolate has us all super tiny!

phew okay back to normal now guys well as normal as two strawberries can get

luckily it was quite a beaut day so we could sit back and smell the flowers

and boy were there a lot of flowers

like they're not messing about with this whole gardening business no siree

so we just gots be unleashing our inner child and doing some cheeky log climbing duh

the main event for us was chocolate decorating

but we were not prepared for the queue. at kew. lololololololol little bit of punny humour there

the event took place inside teepees

because coachella isn't the only hipster place this weekend nah ah

beth attempted to create a strawberry while emily went for a more artistic floral arrangement

it looks too good to eat

hmmmmmm but on second thoughts...

a hop skip and a jump away was the white peaks cafe

where there's a tree! okay so its not actually a real tree but there's plenty of them outside, right?

they served scrummy snacks

crumbly cookies

mini tubs of ice cream

and THE cutest pick and mix stall, which we totally drove into

we somehow managed to restrain ourselves and each opted for a hot chocolate and egg sandwich with apple juice and healthy snacks to share

BECAUSE SHARING IS CARING

next we popped into the plant house

where we really felt like we connected to nature

as we learnt about all our favy ingredients

and how they get from soil to stomach

we popped downstairs to visit the seaweed

and ended up bumping into Marlon apparently Dory's gone missing if you hear anything call this hotline number: 1800-omg-marlon-keeps-losing-people

can we borrow that water feature for our garden please?

and by borrow we mean have and not give back

today has helped us to not only further our Willa Wonka obsession but we've also actually managed to soak up some gardening tips

so thanks Kew for a lovely day! hopefully we'll be seeing you and your greenery again soon x
