Every so often, the bustling streets of Londontown becomes a bit overwhelming. When you need a break from the city, but don’t want to break the bank, grab a friend and head over to Richmond park. It’s only a 30 minute trip from the center of London, yet gives you the feeling you’re far removed to the countryside.

Say goodbye to Big Ben, and hello to acres of wild, wonderful nature.

I made a few friends resting in the sun, but found they don’t want to be cuddled.

During summer months, I would definitely recommend a picnic. Be sure to look out for Fenton the dog and his owner!
