Chihuly at Kew Gardens

On a very hot day at the end of August we went to Kew Botanic Gardens to see the Dale Chihuly glass sculptures.  We had seen a previous exhibition of his work at Kew several years ago, so knew that this would be an amazing day, although we didn't know it was going to be so hot!
