Two short walks

Young gull, St James Park, London

It’s been another week of catching up with friends, so there’s been more talking over cups of tea in cafes than walking, but one of the catch-ups was in London. We met at Victoria station, and because we were both cold and hungry, we quickly went to Wetherspoons inside the station for lunch!

Having warmed up, we set off in the direction of Buckingham Palace and through Green Park. Once in St James Park we soon found our way to the big cafe there and indulged in hot drinks and cake. I’m not sure I walked off all the calories after the vegan donut, but I tried my best when I said goodbye to my friend at Charing Cross station and headed over the Thames towards Waterloo.

The Super Sewer work is going on all along the Thames, so parts of the Thames Path are inaccessible. This is badly needed, but I’ll be glad when the work is done.

Then there was the trip to Richmond Park yesterday with my son and his puppy. It was a dull, grey day, and all the photos look the same…dull! But at least we were in fresh air and we saw a Jay and Woodpecker. There were lots of parakeets too. Enjoy the photos.
