The District Line: A journey Ealing Broadway – Richmond

FineB

I attended a lavish wedding at Pitshanger Manor near Ealing Broadway.

One day I travelled from Ealing Broadway, via Ealing Common, South Ealing, Chiswick Park to Turnham Green,

Enraptured by the beauty of Chiswick House that I visited nearby,

The most glorious stately home I have ever seen.

I fancied a trip to the Botanical Gardens at Kew,

In Kew Gardens I walked the treetops there,

I was seduced by the phenomenal natural beauty around me,

I felt invigorated by the refreshing tonic of the fresh Kew air.

At Richmond Station, I walked to the park,

Befriended and surrounded by deer,

I was headed towards the Thames Path,

It’s magnificence enticing me near.

        Hi Brian,

        Thank you.

        Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving celebration.

        You are right in the UK there are so many wonderful things to see. Since I took up rambling many years ago. I have certainly discovered just how beautiful the countryside is visiting places I normally would not have gone to

        The UK this green and pleasant land..
