Another quick run this morning, slightly different reversed route and another fine fine day. Not quite so hot on the return today and another very cold shower, but we were soon checked out and on the road to Richmond Park. This was just a quick detour to show the team the deer, and boy did we see some. I couldn’t look because there were half a million cyclists racing around – there must have been an event on, but we wasted a few minutes here and set off to park on the street outside Kew for 10:00. We got there a little early, and being British we sat in the car until 10, then into Kew for a mooch around. Its a little like being in a park, Kew, they had three greenhouses of which the biggest, best and most famous was shut for a 35 million quid make over, so we walked 10 miles and saw lots of grass and trees. We went up onto a very wobbly rusty iron structure which I hated as it had see though floors, so I walked around it in double quick time and then coming down the stairs I had to jump from beam to been as I rounded each corner, I did look like a right twerp.
Sat in the sun with another hot dog for lunch, then we went on a barefoot walk – which was very painful – and then it was three and time to go home. Hour and a half later we were home – nice one.
