Stunning gardens - and yes I must have days up walking around ... I'd love to do the rose garden ... gorgeous - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-50536100232505061592017-06-02T02:33:14.113+01:002017-06-02T02:33:14.113+01:00The Japanese bridge, garden and lake seem to be mi...The Japanese bridge, garden and lake seem to be mid 19th century, decades before Monet fell in love with his Japanese footbridge and lake paintings in France. The two sites are very similar in feel, but I much prefer Regent's Park's lush cover of wisteria over Monet's floating lilies.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-64604925974097508532017-06-01T15:38:20.200+01:002017-06-01T15:38:20.200+01:00Jim (Parnassus): You must come back.

I do have an excuse for the second trip; I hurt my knee the first day, and could barely move for the rest of my time there, and certainly not walk across expanses of parks.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-10654316835352148782017-06-01T10:25:07.155+01:002017-06-01T10:25:07.155+01:00Thanks for all that enlightenment esp the map.

I recognise the view from there as being in the final scene of a Judi Dench film.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-12425570079080031282017-06-01T09:00:12.192+01:002017-06-01T09:00:12.192+01:00Wouldn't that be great.
