Walk On By

Sunday 16 October 2011

I had a nice weekend in London with M who was guiding at Wimbledon yesterday and today, staying overnight rather than travelling up and down twice.
We went to Kew Gardens which I've never visited before, despite having lived close by and driven past it dozens of times and always thinking that I'd get around to it. Well, now I have. It's wonderful and huge. M left to go to work after a while and I ended up staying for around four hours. Now that I've finally made it I must go back - I just won't leave it thirty years (Thirty Years!) this time.
Today, I walked from our hotel in Euston to Wimbledon, a ten mile stroll that took me through lots of different areas of the city, just following my nose. It's a brilliant way to see the Capital. I didn't know I'd be walking ten miles when I set off though!

I took this picture on the Kings Road in Chelsea.
