So on Easter Sunday a special day as Tesco's dose not open. We take the bus of to Greenwich with our bag of curly sandwiches, some salad (well you have to have some green. Don't you?), oh not forgetting the quiche. Now here's the thing, there are sandwiches and picnic treats for three people in the bag for life but one set is wrapped like it is some kind of bio hazard and it's escape could end life as we know it. The set is of course the food for me and my daughter. Our food is in cling film,foil and of course the airtight container. Wait a minute though ours is the bigger one, Ours is a feast and has almost a complete set of the off the self picnic. The Gluten Free one how ever is a bit more basic some home made sandwiches and that bleeding quiche again. Well a moan about the lack of interesting Gluten Free food is not what this is about.
No; It's about where we went not really what we had to eat. We got the bus to Greenwich as I have said but instead of making our way into
Greenwich Park and enjoying the views from the top of the hill by the
Royal Observatory or a look at the Deer park and the duck ponds or even the rose garden. We stayed in the area around the
Cutty Sark and the
Old Royal Navel College. We skillfully avoided the mini fun fair and street food stall and set up camp on the grass in the Old college grounds. Like many others who had the same idea. We set up on the grass and enjoyed the sun and the view of the river busy with
sightseeing boats from Westminster and Tower Bridge and the regular fast river bus or
Thames clipper.
you might think this could all be a bit boring after a while and we visited the
Painted Hall or went on board the
Cutty Sark but no. It was far to warm for going inside and the grass made for a nice place to just relax. The daughter wanted to try out a new camera so of she went to join the people around the fun fair or waiting for the boats while we just let the world go by. We found a great cheap way to relax and enjoy the rare event of a sunny British public holiday.
