Beautiful Boston Manor Park

These photos are from a month ago when we visited what I thought was one of the most beautiful parks ever. It’s so little in terms of area/land but I found myself gushing at its beauty over and over again while walking through it – until I was asked to be quiet.

The park is simply called Boston Manor Park and it’s in.. Boston Manor. If you live in West London you should definitely make a visit! Such an unexpected gem. You’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale.

Top – Old Blossom Box
Shorts – ASOS
Shoes – Swedish Hasbeens for H&M

I was surprised that I bought these shoes
I don’t normally like clogs, but these proved to be amazingly comfortable, and so I did the obvious thing and got them in both colours – red and white.

While it was warm, I wore them nearly every day..
Such a tragedy that it’s suddenly gone cold again.. it’s actually a tease!

I was so excited that I took a photo of the sunny sun.

Look how beautiful the ground is with all the fallen leaves!

I am in love with this gigantic tree
Look how far its arms stretch out, as if to say ‘hug me!’

We had a picnic near it – not under it; the Big Tree loves the sun too so it barely has any gaps for any leftover rays to meet the ground

They’re a bit ugly, aren’t they? haha
I still like them

I took Martin, my toy alien, out too and we recorded a video together
And then I played frisbee and tried to climb Big Tree (but didn’t get very far)

Sunstroke Madness in Putney

“Sunstroke Madness” is a term coined by Aysh
It happened one day when it was sunny and she had been on a train home after we’d hung out in Kingston earlier
Suddenly, a wave of spontaneity hit her and she jumped off before the train reached her stop, determined NOT to get home until it was well and truly dark
A friend lived nearby and she ended up going there and having dinner with a group of people

The sun.. it makes you do great things
And it’s true – during the warmer months I never want to go home if I know the sun’s still out!

Last week, we had a barbie in Putney
We ate so much {good} food.. giant burgers and an amazing salad
Drew ridiculous things on the street using sidewalk chalk

I wrote beside a neighbour’s car,
“Welcome to your car, Mr Crabbs”
accompanied by a cartoon crab (like in Spongebob!)
Who knew that the owner would walk out not two minutes after I was done with my artwork!
Luckily, he thought it was funny and had a laugh!

We packed up our cocktails, beer, and ice-cream into a cooler
At the park, the boys played football
Emma and I danced, jumped, and went crazy to Bob Marley
You could say we had a bit of Sunstroke Madness

Here are some photos from the day

Top – H&M
Shorts – H&M
Shoes – Bertie

I was having a bit of fun with Photoshop!
Which effect do you like best?

What crazy things does the sun make you do?

PS – I changed my banner/header yet AGAIN!
