Finally some pictures of Richmond

Two-weeks-ago is hardly news, but the trouble with having a packed social calendar is that there is no time (or energy) to write about it, right? So, as I am sure you have noticed, the weather has been quite nice and it was perfect time for a picnic (two weeks ago)! I packed some chicken satay, dips, naan breads, pina coladas, apple strudel and my old friend from boarding school, plus a couple of her friends and off to Richmond we went... It was delightful afternoon (daaaaarling), with lots of English humour (that I will never understand but nevertheless find amusing) and talking in picnic voices. Anyway, if you fancy a day in the country, but not too far from London, then Richmond is good, with many pubs along the Thames river, and it's the last stop on the District Line (westbound), so technically still almost in London, although the postcode is Surrey.

Here are some delightful pictures to delight your lovely eyes. Very picturesque old England. Oh, and did I mention that Virginia Woolf lived in Richmond? And that she absolutely hated it? And that there is a Curzon's cinema which shows a lot of great foreign movies? And that there is a great little chocolate shop on the corner of Richmond Green? Sold yet?
