    PS Nice pond with a naked mermaid. Pity her bum was covered in scales.
    It's not just being wealthy it's being prepared to do a lot of gardening.

      Or being wealthy enough to hire a small army of gardeners

        Had a lovely day out yesterday with my friends. We took a couple of bottles of fizz to Regents Park and found a nice sunny/shady spot near a pond that was home to some very inquisitive geese. The toilets had a 20p charge (contactless payment) that was utterly pointless as you could get a dozen people in for free every time someone left. Useful for the wimminz toilet that always has a queue. Less so for the gents, I suspect.

        We then walked down to a 'dive bar' called Passyunk Avenue (pron. pashunk) named after a place in Philadephia. Stuffed our faces, then went back to the park to sit on a bench and natter for a while longer before heading home.

        Was in bed by 9.30 pm, woke up with a headache at 2 am. All fine now though.

            You walked 88.69 km in 3hr 17min 21s ? Must be as dodgy as the reading I once got on my cheap mobile. In about 1 hr I walked from Sussex to Lyon in France then back to Norfolk.

            PS Or is that 3 days 17 hrs 21min?

                  Peter Rabbit 2 watched. Not bad, not as good as PR1.

                  Uxbridge visited, so many permanently closed stores.

                  Lidl had 8 self service tills personned by one girl and no normal tills open.

                    Reading not your strong point? I'll try it again .... "4 1/2 hour walk on Saturday, 3 1/2 hour cycle today." Let's see if you can work it out

                      Watched PR1 on Saturday. Highly enjoyable. So silly. As was Turbo this evening.

                      On the intellectual side, I've nearly finished reading The Outer Limits of Reason: What Science, Mathematics, and Logic Cannot Tell Us by Noson S. Yanofsky
