hyde park in november

I spent my day off today in Hyde Park. I'd originally planned on going to one of the museums, but once I got to South Kensington, I found myself not very interested in doing that any more. So I spent awhile reading on a bench, letting the city flow around me (one of my favourite things to do here in London), and actually ended up being photographed by a charming French street photographer.

After a while I got too cold to sit still any longer, and so decided to do one of my favourite things anywhere, in one of my favourite places in London - go for a walk in Hyde Park. I love autumn more than any time of year, and I love being outside on an autumn day. The air smelt wonderful, all rotting leaves and woodsmoke, and it was full of people out enjoying their day similarly - families taking their kids out, little old couples out for strolls, people with their dogs. I love this park so much.

That's Kensington Palace you can see between the trees.

Straight on 'till morning.
