Another summer weekend..

Kent popularly known as 'Garden of England' is the home for the beautiful Leeds Castle. Its not only famous for its beautiful structure but also its natural flora and fauna..





The English castles are well known for their massive gardens. These are some of the views of the gardens on the way to the castle. These pictures were taken on a gloomy summer day, but on a nice summer day, with bluer skies.. they look even better..



Every season, the flora of this places changes.. These lovely white bush of flowers is British summer speciality.. It can be found all over England through out Summer









The Castle is surrounded by River Len, and the views are absolutely stunning.
The castle with its lush green gardens and River Len...


















As you walk through the gardens you find Peacocks and peahens fearlessly walking around and wondering as to what humans(intruders) are doing in their land.


I was really happy to see this lovely bird with beautiful feathers march in front of us with pride.

Some lucky little kids found feathers of peacocks in the bushes. They seemed extremely proud of their possessions



Another beauty.. White peacock in the green gardens was a beautiful sight.
There are few castles that are really beautiful and worth going to in England and Leeds castle is one of them.. We had a lovely day out this Saturday at Leeds castle.

Random weekend update..

I think I spoke too early about the World cup.. Brazil lost the match against Holland.. so I decided that i will not support any team, just watch the final and support the winning team :) This way I will not be disappointed when all the teams I support go out of the world cup.

This weekend we went to a farm where we could pick our own cherries. We have been to a lot of places where they let us pick our own Strawberries and we normally tend to go atleast once a year, but this time, wanted to pick cherries as we have heard a lot about it. It was quite nice to see massive trees full of cherries of all different colours. It was a great experience and super fun.

Watched the Wimbledon Men's Final on Sunday, which was a bit boring, I love watching tennis, but slept through the last set, it was that boring. The mixes doubles was good fun, Leander Paes was playing on one team and was really nice to see someone from India win the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles title.
