  Awake at 0700 and did my 3x 33 pressuos Didn’t take anything out of my bag and decided to take laptop. I had planned for 0800 departure but eventually left at 0815. Seems I missed one bus but another 461 at 0837. Flew into Kingston and was on Sl7 at 0912.  Chatted with lady who was the sign designer at the airports .

Parkrun at Brockwell

It was a good day out but I left it a bit late and it was a mad cycle from Clapham Junction to Brockwell and got there with 5 minutes to spare .  My hands and feet were frozen and my heart was beating so fast and felt so giddy . So walked after 1 Km . I know that's not good for me as once I stopped it's difficult to get going again .  Brockwell Lido has an outdoor pool which is not heated . Brrrr . Great views of Battersea , Vauxhall , Shard and London skyline .  So I cycled back via Brixton and Lambeth borough . What a colourful area ? The market was full of Carribean  veg so bought a couple of yams .  Also loved the London buses and place names Lambeth Brixton Elephant and Castle . Full of life and colour . What a great place London is .

    Clapham Common - 2022 11 26 Stella Caught the 0724 train from Hampton court . Left the bike at the station so I could walk with Stella who I met at Clapham Junction .  I loved walking through Clapham a very different approach to a park run and Stella saw the cafe where we would have pan de chocolait post patkrun .  Loads of activity in the park . Walkers , bikers and dog walkers . Very friendly two laps .  Cofffe , roll and brolioche in Clapham before we take our different trains home .  We took the 7:24 That delivered us to the door  Of the Clapham park run Give us more of this Saturday fun It was quite funny that Stella had deposited her token without scanning . She searched the boxes and was able to scan . Including here photos of Clapham high street . It’s part of the parkrun experience.  ,  .
