Different Views

A bit like ‘coals to Newcastle’.

A Weekend in London,  much of it spent walking.

Round parks and gardens.

Along riverbanks and canals

Even the odd street.

Unexpected wildlife – and people…

Even a fox which trotting nonchalantly round the gardens at Kew, below the parakeets.

The garden theme continued at the Royal Academy where more than just Monet’s garden is currently on display.

After being entranced by Monet’s lilies in Paris I was on a mission to see more.  One of the murals brought together from three different galleries in the US, displayed for a short time in its entirety.

Camden market has grown far larger than the odd scattering of canal side stalls it was when, lets just say along time ago, when I lived in London.

But so also has the diversity.   Delicious aromas making choice difficult.

Finally eating paella squeezed into a tiny space filled with chattering Spanish voices.

Little Venice was not quite as wet and watery as its name sake, but a pleasant place to sit and eat cake on a sunny afternoon.

If I had to live in London they maybe I could cope with this postcode

Usually I’ve suffered transport by tube to link walking around the city but now, armed with Oystercard and phone and the great god Google, staying above ground and using the bus was incrediably easy.  Except on Friday when things were a tad slow.

Maybe next time I’ll try a Boris Bike.
