    Just wondering whether anyone has seen 'Kew Gardens' by the Ealing Film and Video Club on ITV Local.

    I love Kew Botanical Gardens but rarely get to go, but on watching this ...it took me on a beautifully informative and delightful tour of the Royal Botanic Kew Gardens in Richmond, London. Especially good as i could view it in full screen it almost felt if I was there.

    Go see it for yourself,
    www.itvlocal.com/London/londonlife
    Then go to the borough of Richmond where the video is located

    While I was there I also noticed a video on the National Garden Scheme (the opening up of public gardens to raise money for charity) where the team visited a garden in Muswell Hill and did an interview with Charlie Dimmock.

    Have a look at people's profiles, MF, and you'll learn lots! ;)

    As you have pointed it out, dendrobium: I actually seldom look at profiles.
    They tell you about a person in that moment when she fills in the data required.
    I find it more intriguing to know a member over a period of time, and "create my own profile" about him/her.
    Pete may well be a joiner ... with some producing abilities.

    And it's what the joining member chooses to put too, MF! Think you're right - I never used to look at profiles, but sometimes what someone says on thread makes me interested in seeing what they've said. And in some people's profiles there's a constantly changing photo!!
