To Richmond in Surrey and first to Richmond Hill, cold and muddy. It was interesting to see this oasis of green in the middle of some of the most expensive real estate in Britain. I was wondering how they resisted the pressure to develop when I discovered it was a royal park. Not sure what that means but it appears it's like the Queen's back garden. She obviously likes visitors but not residents in her back garden.
To Ham House to sample the delights of the National Trust. It was cold... But the tea and scones were good. Another green oasis this time protected by somebody.
It's big deal all these bits of green, reminders that development is sometimes best served by not developing.
