A Day in the Park

Sophie and I decided to go on a park outing today, despite the grey weather. With a few Thoresby friends in tow, Sophie and I hopped on the tube and made our way to St. James Park. As we passed BuckinghamPalace we were caught up in the crowds, watching a procession leaving the palace gates. As the very kind British woman in front of us explained, it was a celebration of the Salvation Army Band’s 125th anniversary. Representative bands from all over the world were parading through the mall in front of the palace all decked out in their uniforms. After the procession ended, we made our way across into St. JamesPark.

Salvation Army Band from America!

The ancient trees shade acres of lush lawns and gravel paths lined with benches. We grabbed some beverages at the coffee stand and set off for a stroll through the park on a lovely spring day.


Park adventures!

cheers,
kate.
