Early morning on the health

04/07/2020 //  by Michelle//  7 Comments

It was such a gorgeous morning this morning that I was on the heath just after 7 so I am treating you to quite along early morning walk!

(If you want to see the video you will need to click onto the blog as the email notification does not include the video.)

I emerged from my woodland walk at the climbing tree…

..this time complete with climbing boy and his dad. And just by the climbing tree is exercise central!

Further on down to the left is a grove of majestic trees, in all their sculptural, pre-leaf glory. Here is of them, more to come tomorrow.

Down at the bottom of the the sun was just coming up over the boating pond…

But on the stock pond next door the ducks were already active.

    The only problem I have with these videos is that Michelle is getting all the exercise, while I sit here, getting none!

    Love the deliberate typo in the title – I’m sure no pun was intended! 😊

    Oh I wish it had been deliberate, Jackie!!! Sadly, it is just my dreadful typing – but I’ll leave it to amuse everyone else!! Hope you guys are all OK – M

    For someone who’s never been near Hampstead Heath, I’m shocked how big and lovely it is!

    700 acres!!! Mind you – I am horribly bad on ‘area’ so that does not mean that much to me – but it sounds like a lot…… The really fab thing about it is that it is so varied. Richmond Park is lovely but it is quite flat and I would hate to say boring – but quit flat anyhow. But Hampstead is very hilly, a lot of it is wooded, we have 13 ponds/mini lakes… plus lots of wide open spaces – a view over the whole of London – plus all the more ‘human friendly’ bits like childrens’ playgrounds, running tracks, cafés, tennis courts, bowls green, a band stand…. OK – I’ll stop going on about it!!!
