Another Saturday, Another Walk in Hampsted Heath

There are so many great places in Hampstead Heath. Yesterday, unwashed and rumpled, we straggled out first thing in the morning to wander around for a couple of hours.

It's not just our back yard that's leafy these days.


This is the podega, a fancy public garden:

which backs up to this palatial home...where we are going to move once we have a few more kids.

Seriously, we think that people actually live in this place.

And then relived his senior year high school picture moments:

In Golders Hill Park, there is a deer enclosure. This young buck had a pretty bad limp so we're hoping that the park is going to take care of him.


Towards the end of our walk, it started to rain pretty hard and I realized that I hadn't been in one of the famous English phone booths. So I briefly took shelter from the rain. It didn't even smell like urine!
