Chapter 61 : Magic Moments of British Trip
Memorable Moments of British Trip
Sitting back as the train glided into Penzance. Outside were views of the coast and rain on the paddocks thick with grass. Inside I listened to KD Lang. She sang Hallelujah and I was transported...
Visiting the Tremenheer Sculpture Gardens near Penzance. Stunning gardens. Down every path, behind every flourishing plant was another interesting sculpture.
Hyde Park in the middle of London. Females exercised their horses while wearing traditional gymkhana caps.
Park run with Ronan. The format the same as Hobart. The number of people was increased. The course was alongside the Thames and two laps of a park. Ronan was fantastic. The perfect host.
Sunday roast lunch in Leicestor. The menu was either roast lamb, roast turkey, roast beef or roast ham. Plus Yorkshire puddings, gravy in a boat, stuffing, roast and steamed vegetables and a variety of jellies in little jars. The amount of food would have fed one of the homeless beggars for a week. Perhaps not the beggar we saw talking on her phone or the one dunking her chips into tomato sauce.
The main street in Edinburgh. On one side a few boring shops. The other side revealed a public garden and an absolutely priceless view of Edinburgh Castle. Has to be one of the best views anywhere in this world.
The Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh. Perfect grass with beds of flowers from around the world. Impossible to describe gardens of such quality. They have taken gardens to a new level. If you have the opportunity go there.
Entering a curio shop in Edinburgh which was selling tartan scarves, caps and kilts. Also shortbread and whiskey glasses. Not very exciting and then the lady said, “I have to pop next door. Can you mind the shop?" I was in charge. A very special moment especially when some tourists came in.
The train from Edinburgh to London. The guy next to us was telling us about an exciting act he had just seen at the Festival. She came from Tasmania and she talked about her upbringing in NW Tasmania. Hannah Gadsby got a lot of laughs. Probably more than she would have got in Wynard.
Another park run at Fulham Palace. By the Thames (nearer the sea) and by a palace. Multiple laps. Nearly 400 finishers. Some photos taken by the chief organiser. Mixing with the locals.
Crossing the road in central London without the usual waiting, near misses, rage and increase in blood pressure which I would count as a highlight. I think I managed it once but I can't be sure.
