A little wandering

 

An old rolls royce-repurposed as an ice cream truck

Today I wandered the streets of London.  Yes I had a destination in mind, yes I had a detour along the way and yes I had a fabulous walk and wander.  

My detour, St. James Sussex Garden

Parish Church of Paddington

The Nave

On my own and without a map meant I had to really pay attention to my direction and turns.  Many of you will know that I can be directionally challenged and easily lost.  Well not lost really, just taking in different sights!  There were no interesting markets to wander through which was disappointing but Kensington Gardens were lovely to wander.  I found the round pond, sunken garden, memorial fountain of Diana and many more statues.

These are the units to measure the worth

Of this woman as a woman, regardless of birth.

Not what was her station?

But had she a heart?

How did she play her God-given part?

The memorial fountain for the Princess of Wales.  

Not currently working but I was underwhelmed!

The Round Pond and space around

People meandered, ran and just enjoyed the opportunity to sit and watch the world go by.  While the sun shone there was a definite nip of cold in the wind but it was a beauty of a day for walking.

Kensington Palace, sorry no inside pictures I refused to pay the exorbitant price to enter.
