The weather was going to be 30 degrees this weekend, so we headed to the park at Battersea for a picnic.
There’s lots of gold god figurines in the park. This one had a bouquet of flowers.
We walked west along the Thames for a few miles. This beach had lots of shoes tied to it. A dog ran up and licked my knee. His owner later warned me not to put my hand near him because he bites, which didn’t seem very safe.
After a long walk we arrived at Cake Boy, a French Patisserie with the most amazing looking cakes (check out the Marilyn Monroe cheesecakes at the back).
We shared a raspberry geisha cake and a chocolate praline moose. The prices were less than Hummingbird and they even do cake making classes. We walked around Wandsworth Town afterwards, which felt like stepping back in to wartime Britain and had a hunt for the Beggars Banquet office.
We jumped on the tube to Richmond and headed to the deer park.
It didn’t take us very long to find a big herd of deer.
It was baby season, so all the female deer were away looking after the babies, while the guys were kicking around eating grass (and probably chatting about the football).
We walked through the park and forrest for miles and miles.
We spotted lots of deer, squirrels, a paraquet and a 20 is Plenty sign (which Limmy will appreciate when I email it to him).
When we got to the other side of the park we were at Kingston On Thames, which was pretty and leafy.
We had dinner at Carluccios before heading home.
Louise came over to watch the football today, so we put the TV in the doorway and the sofa outside.
Handome got excited that he could be outside and cuddled up on a sofa at the same time (check out my new shoes in this photo).
