Picnic in the park.

Sunday had been planned as day in park. 3 different weather sites had 3 different forecasts for the day, so we chanced our arm in any case. We set up under beautiful Plains Trees in Greenwich Park, and stared down the weather!

After a couple of light showers the weather cleared to a beautiful day.
                                 Bern and Fi

From about 2.00 pm others started to arrive and we chatted, watched a few squirrels and set up the game of Kubb. A Swedish game involving tossing wooden blocks. On such a lovely day we had a ball.

A few people stopped and watched as well as shouted encouragement.

All things come to an end, also brought on by the fact that although it is a 'Royal Park' there are no public utilities! So off we toddled bags in hand and a few of us stopped at the local on way home to visit the utilities and a brew.

At 10.00 pm Luke the barman advised us that we have to go inside or leave. We left laughing as another day disappeared.

Dave and Bern's last day, so lunch is planned.
