Hyde park at my home

The other day, my wife ask me: "dear, when do you take me to visit London ?".
I reply: "We do not need to travel so far away, dear. We have our own Hyde park at home. What do we miss, after all ???:D:D:D
Maybe the squirrels ? Well, we have our (plastic-fake) little rabbit... :D:D:D.
I tell you what: when the mother-in-law start chit-chatting being a pain in the neck, we can place her in a corner of our front-yard. So we have the speaker corner as well..."
My wife did not appreciate this last sentence... :D:D:D

 

here some pictures of my front-yard.

 

In winter and...
...now (spring).

 

Since I had been pleased to live seven monthes in London, I visited almost all of them...
I visited Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Saint James Park, Green Park, Regent Park, Holland Park, Battersea Park, Hampstead Heat, Kew Gardens, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and Wimbledon Common.
Yes, I missed the Chelsea Flower show and Hampton Court...
I will keep them in mind in order to visit them next time when I will happen to travel to London.
Unfortunately, my wife (actually is not my wife as we live together but we are not married) is ucranian and needs a lot of papers to get a visa for the United Kingdom...
So we are daunted to travel to London.
That's a pity, since we live near Milan Malpensa Airport and we have got plenty of airlines that fligh to London...
In the rush-hour traffic, it would take to us more time to drive to the city of Milan than to fly to London...

 

You know, when I happen to be in London I never realize where to start with...
So many things to see, to snap shots...
After all, so as Rome has been the "world-capital city" in the ancient times, in the same way London has been (and under many aspects keeps on being) the "world-capital city" of the latest 300, 200 years.
After all, the whole world speaks english because of a "little town" :D of 6,000,000 of inhabitants called "London"...
Everything begins here: in London.
The USA itself trace back its history from those Pilgrim Fathers of british origins that - when they were in their motherland - had London as capital city.
I tell you: when I happen to be in London I never get bored.
On the contrary I get an headache due to the many things to do, to see, to visit, to snap shots, to watch, to look...
Now you suggest me to visit some more "items" that add up to all the other stuff...
Sure enough I will visit them.
By now London belongs not only to the Londoneers.
London belongs also to a great deal of people, expecially in Europe, as we all had read Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, etc.
You also had gift to the world many sports-games as football and rugby...
When I am in "my own little bit of paradise" I fantasy that the grass of my lawn could be the same grass of a London Royal Park... :hehe:

 

Great pictures Maksim.
