  A grand day out in Kew Botanical Gardens last Sunday, just off the North Circular – or cordon sanitaire, as an old fiend (I’ll keep that typo) called it.  Current old friend and I wandered along fragrant avenues of green, breathing in the out-breath of pampered trees, arbors of chestnuts. Who knew there could be so many species of chestnut? Or is chestnut the species, and its subdivisions something else.  No idea,  but good things to think about, like what to have for lunch, then whether to hang a right into the Mediterranean shrubbery or left towards another grove of trees with Latin names.   We went for the shrubbery, smelling lovely, bees like cake crumbs in the heavy air (I nicked that from Laurie Lee) paths winding onto small, enchanted groves, the greens and yellows sharded like an impressionist painting – dots of red – like Corot’s landscapes, to draw your eye to the centre, like an infant’s to a nipple.   And on top of all this (literally)  a  temple
