KEW. 

Royal Botanic Gardens. 

 

This theme, relates from a day out, 

courtesy of S.C.T, with the 

attendance of students and tutors. 

 

S.C.T offers courses and workshops, 

from Monday to Friday. For people 

who have experienced homelessness and 

Mental health issues. Awareness should 

and must always be the key, available 

to all. Unfortunately, in communities, 

and societies, it is not always the case.  

 

On a hot Summer day, 

I could hear the chatter and laughter  

of my peers, my heart filled with 

joy and looking forward to the day, 

so far, at Acorn House. Immediately, 

I was greeted by those I know so well, 

in the group, and some I did not know, 

I introduced myself, as I write this, 

tears are falling down my cheeks. 

This proves to you my dear readers, 

belonging to such associations, saves 

my right to live and improves my life 

on a daily basis. I made friends, whom 

I relate through their experiences, 

strength and hopes. And also they have improved 

their own lives. As some said, I hope 

I will be allowed to attend those courses, 

that S.C.T will not dismiss me. But knowing very well, that is not the case. The 

fear still lingers, we are all Human 

beings after all. A fact.  

 

As the morning developed its wings, 

the group gathered together, in line 

or in groups, taking public transport, 

courtesy of TFL. The vigilance of the 

tutors always at hand, a reassurance  

or annoyance, for some, there will be 

always some: “I cannot believe it”, 

the grumpies, all welcome. 

 

Bringing people together,  the name 

of the game. It is what community,  

friendship is all about, isn’t it? 

Kew train station, coupon and oyster  

cards blipped and ticked. 

 

At last, destination, Kew Gardens, 

here we are! Tickets distribution, 

we gathered together, large group or 

small group, the chatters and excitement  

begun. Tutors’ reminders of behaving 

ourselves, of course Governor! 

 

We all took our minds, thoughts 

and bodies, for the mystery and 

discovery of Nature at the Royal  

Botanic Gardens. Common people 

and aristocracy, all inclusive! 

 

Promenades and photos taken with 

mobile phone, thank you so much 

for contemporary technologies.  

 

Here are a display of images taken 

through the day. Please, dear readers, 

do enjoy the article and pictures, 

of this exclusive journey, through  

Kew Gardens. 

 

Please do breathe in and breathe out, 

And do let your imagination wanders, 

Is it that life is all about? 

 

All welcome the discovery of Nature began.
