Well I did manage to get out and about a little bit on Easter Monday - to Hendon Park, in NW London - nearest tube Hendon Central on the Northern Line (Edgware Branch). The photo above is of the Holocaust Memorial Gardens, a quiet little corner of the park. If you look closely, near the centre, you may spot the subject of the next photo... a duck!
In London the weather is improving a bit now that the Easter holiday is over. Mysteriously, traffic wardens were handing out parking tickets yesterday, I noticed. Strange. I had thought that parking was free on the bank holidays. I suppose nothing stops Rip-Off Britain from functioning: be warned if you hire a car for your visits here.
Meanwhile, French President M. Sarkozy is to visit London tomorrow: about 300,000 French people live in Britain, mostly in London, so maybe they can say "Bonjour" to him or something. Other than that, the London Eye (a big ferris-wheel popular with tourists) broke down yesterday, trapping maybe 400 visitors on board while it got fixed. Make sure you go to the toilet before boarding, I reckon!
