It’s been a while since I last used my walking boots for walking! (Rather than just as suitably rugged footwear in Wales and Kenya!) So today’s jaunt around Windsor Great Park was an invigorating return to walking. Despite the rather wet weather forecast, not a drop of rain fell during the ramble, and the sun even made an appearance, giving ample opportunity to take photos. It was good just to get away from the usual hustle and bustle of city life and get some fresh air.

In the evening, the usual suspets gathered in Victoria for some food, and then we wandered down to Battersea Park to watch a huge fireworks display. After spending most of the day walking, I was a little worse for wear and was content to just watch the impressive sequence of bangs and flashes.

A good, if rather exhausting day!
