Morden Hall Park - The Return!

I did say I was going to go back, didn't I?

It's not often we get sunny days in the UK (though actually the weather has been amazing for a few weeks now), so I'm trying to make the most of it. This time, I went prepared - armed with my trusty camera and lots more time to spare! I spent the afternoon in Morden Hall Park, having a lovely time taking photos of just about everything, lazing on the grass and soaking up the sun. 

'Oh! It's a "water sausage."' A quotation in a quotation...quote-ception!

Morden Hall Park

I briefly visited Morden Hall Park at the weekend, and now I wish I'd known about it sooner. It's not particularly extraordinary, but I love the fact that such a calming and gorgeous place is so close to the busy town centre. It really contrasts with its surroundings, which I think makes it much more appreciated.

There's also a lovely rose garden, the River Wandle which runs through the park, and an abundance of water Pokemon - what more can one ask for?

Sorry about the bad photo quality - I took these with my phone rather than my DSLR, and now I must make do with the consequences...

I love you

Polesden Lacey Adventure

Hello there!

Last Saturday I went out (what? I left the house?!) and decided to explore the wonders of Polesden Lacey, a gorgeous Edwardian estate, which is now owned by the National Trust.

Of course, there's no surprise there - we all know that I'm obsessed with their sites!

I can honestly say, that was one of the best days I'd had in a while. It was a lovely day, sunny with blue skies (a true blessing in grey old England) and my parents brought some food along for a picnic. The house of Mrs Greville was stunning, especially the gold room in which a very talented pianist was playing at the grand piano, and the gardens were amazing with beautiful flowers. We wandered around for hours, just taking it all in and having such a great time.

After, we had dinner in a little pub called 'Leg of Mutton and Cauliflower', what a name! It was very quaint though, and the atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The food did not disappoint - it was delicious and I was stuffed when I was done!
