I’ve been living in London again for a little over a week now. The flat may still be a building site, but I’ve scored a great rental off a friend’s parents. This weekend was great - all of a sudden the weather has brightened up and it feels like summertime. This, of course, means that Londoners strip off and get sunburnt at the first possible opportunity. Just like the guys outside the Tube station with umbrellas on rainy days, we should have guys with sun cream at the entrance to any patch of public grass on sunny days.
Anyway, yesterday marked an important day back in London for me - just because it was the first warm sunny day and I went for a run when I got home. It was the first summer evening run in London. And it was great. Loads of runners were out to enjoy the evening. There’s no real point to this blog post, other than - it’s great to be in London. Running along the river on a sunny evening is just glorious.
But since you’re bothering to read this post, I’ll share a secret with you - I found a wonderful little park on the river overlooking Putney (not quite sure how I missed it before - especially as a friend of mine got married right next to it - I blame it on having grown up in North London). You can follow the Thames Path along the river or just stroll around the gardens. I love finding new places in the city.
What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
