Richmond Park Guided Walk 2

We were up early for our guided walk around Richmond Park, but we had a chance to catch an egg and coffee and hash browns at the River Cafe opposite Putney Bridge Station.

There were about 60 of us in all, the average age probably about the same number but there was a polite friendliness going around. The talks concerned park management, soil nutrition, rhodadendrons and herons.


We saw wild deer, heard great spotted woodpeckers and saw pipe smoking tweed cap wearing naturists.



The weather was changable, with looming clouds making way around the blue sky. Although it was cold it soon became obvious that beer oclock was looming.




And we saw a live wild rabbit, munching on the park like it was one big salad bar.

I love the rabbit!

Now I am going to always imagine you as a 60-something old man after this post!
