Meet up with Jenny for a picnic in Regent's Park. Such a lovely spot. We haven't been for years and there's a lot of it we haven't seen. There's a lot to see - flowers, a lake, birds. The London Zoo is near the north end, and the canal just north of that. There's also a large mosque and acres of land. A reminder that London is a quarter green space? A busy Saturday with people in paddle boats, sunbathing, buying ice creams. We find a flowery nook with a bench and share buns, cheese, olives, tiny tomatoes, juice, wine. Leisurely meal and a good catch up chat about family and friends and then a stroll through the park. The birds have no fear of people, living as they do in a protected park. A wildlife man has cameras set up so people can see the heron nests - three large ones complete with baby birds. We also pass quite a few herons on the grass by the lake, standing catatonically still.
