Sunny Sundays in London are spent lying on the grass,
The menu: cheese sandwiches, crisps, hard-boiled eggs,
the Toddler's lasagne, biscuits and apples.
The park: Richmond park is the quickest country-break for Londoners;
it's so vast, green and full of wildlife
you immediately forget you're in London.
The crowd: families, joggers, cyclists, hikers, couples-in-love.
Not many dog-walkers, maybe because of the deer.
Baby Lu's favourites: deer and tadpoles.
There are deer everywhere;
There are deer everywhere;
some are brave or hungry enough to approach humans.
Pros: it's so big, it won't feel crowded,
even if half of London picnics there.
Cons: deer poo, everywhere.
Be careful before laying your picnic blanket.
Ducks & Pirates, Hyde Park
The menu: cheese sandwiches, crisps, tomatoes,
Baby Lu's chicken casserole, chocolate and tangerines.
The park: Hyde Park is London's Central Park.
With beautiful lakes, fountains, gardens, playgrounds
it's the epitome of the urban park.

A sure way to exhaust your little ones
before picnicking in peace with your other half
(little ones sleeping in the pram).

Cons: On a beautiful, sunny day, Hyde Park gets really crowded.
If you're planning a romantic picnic,
you may as well pick another park.

ReplyDeleteIf you want a giggle about an event that happened in Richmond Park, go to Youtube and search "Fenton in Richmond Park". It's both funny and awful at the same time.
