Kew the Ducks (in Kew Gardens) and Jimmy Carr on Tax

Now that February is with us I personally feel a little more energetic and energised - this w/e at Kew Gardens - really cold but looks like the gardeners have been very busy with many borders cleared and ready for planting.

Not all Orchids are White or cream

But some are

Spent a little time in Princess of Wales Conservatory which will shortly have Orchid show and it seems some Chinese New Year decorations (Year of the Dog- Feb 16th).

'Great Shot' says Ealing Gazette

It's a great place to take photo's and having been back in the local paper - I'm busy 'snapping again and as that picture featured 'Ducks' I'm keeping an eye on them.

Stepping out

Jimmy Carr

Room 101 the BBC TV show is (it seems to me) evolving into something more akin to a chat show, I'm conscious that there's a tendency to keep things light - no one suggests putting Stalin, Mao or other figures who persecuted and killed into Room 101 -the men responsible for so many deaths in the 20th Century are not a subject for banishment?

It was though good to see Jimmy Carr revisiting his own personal humiliation over 'underpaying/avoidance' of  tax ( but who likes paying more tax than they need to?)- should we expect a Comedian to be so much better than Politicians (or the UK's Queen)?

If it's wrong why not try and stop high earners from their Tax avoidance surely a job for Government?
