On Friday, I had plans for a walk with some friends. As it was raining, I asked if we would just go to a cafe instead. But apparently, British and Scottish people don’t mind walking in the rain. They obviously did not grow up in California during the drought. And they obviously do not have frizzy hair issues. But, I’m a trouper, so off for a walk we went.
Luckily the rain went on hiatus for the first half of our walk. We started at Richmond Park, walked along the river, and stopped for a mooch about and a cake at Petersham Nurseries. We then headed back during a light drizzle before the rain properly returned. I enjoyed the walk, the lovely scenery and catching up with my friends. I will try and go for more regular walks in the park and along the river. Even in the rain.
Heh, it’s definitely quieter walking when it’s wet, although that hasn’t stopped me this week. Got to get those steps in …
Looks like it was a lovely walk along the river in spite of the rain 🙂
The rain doesn’t put me off a good walk, I just need a little fresh air and space, looks like a great place there to enjoy both.
I don’t mind walking in. The rain, as long as it’s consistent but the other week there was a torrential downpour then sun and then rain again. It continued quite a time and walking is definitely not fun in that 🙂 that cake looks amazing too #MySundayPhoto
That’s the worst–when the weather keeps changing and one minute you’re soaking, and the next you’re soaking but hot. 🙁
Brave woman! You can’t beat a walk, rain or no rain! If British people didn’t walk when it rained we’d barely get out of the house.
Ah yes, even after almost 14 years in this country, I still hate having to leave the house in the rain.
A beautiful set of photos, that tea and cake looks good
Thank you for linking up
What a nice place for a stroll, even in the rain, although my eye lit up when i saw that cake.
Cappuccino cake! It was delicious!
It’s not so bad if you start in the dry and then it rains. If we didn’t walk in the rain in Wales we’d never go out! #MySundayPhoto
Love the overhead cake and drinks photo. It’s lovely to have plenty of river walks.
It sounds like you had such a lovely walk….
I think I would be more keen on walking if cake was involved…hehehe
That tea and cake look delicious! I am with you on the frizzy hair issues but it looks like a lovely walk anyway. Great pictures xx
The reward of cake always makes a walk so much easier 😉 Looks like a nice place to walk as well.
