Told Jennifer and the girls that I would be home by lunchtime and that we would pack up a picnic and head out, didn't know where we would end up as hadn't planned that far ahead. When Neil my local postman was delivering the mail I told him I was out in the PM and he suggested that I try,
King George's Park in Brentwood, with all these facilities and it was lovely and clean with 3 hrs free parking too;
- formal gardens exquisite in spring -time and beautiful all year round
- children's play area
- paddling pools
- a unique garden for the blind with many flowering and non-flowering plants which appeal to senses other than sight
- playing fields for football, cricket, rugby and kick about areas
- bowling greens with 12 rinks
- crazy golf
- skate park
- cafe
It is only twenty minutes away and having looked it up on the internet it sounded ideal for the two older girls and for little Lacey Mae and it was just a perfect afternoon.
Dug out the picnic basket, filled it with sausage rolls that Jennifer had made that morning, a couple of rounds of sandwiches, crisps, cheese (forgot the olives for Shannon and me) fresh fruit and drinks and of course the inevitable chocolate bars, which we didn't get around to eating! and you'll be pleased to know I didn't take that many photographs!
