A Sunny Day on the Common

We spent a glorious sunny Sunday walking around Wimbledon Common.  It's a playland for the kids- places to explore, trees to climb and animals to see (both alive and dead).

One of us stumbled on a dead squirrel, which led to conversations about diseases and what they were.  Then, when we got to a large pond, we found a swan fighting mad about a horse that was patrolling the perimeter. It's an impressive sight to be standing right next to a large horse that is equally eyeing up the kids and the swan.

Here we are up on a fallen tree a good 6 feet in the air.  The kids climbed up and I followed.
And then the end of the day walk back to the car...

We walked three miles along the beach and through the woods to reach this place.   Once there, we devoured barnacles, goat, fish, steak and razor clams. Washed down with coke, beer and regional white wine. And then grandma's chocolate cake, cheese and honey and coffees for the walk back.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
