A Small Mind In A Big City: Hyde And Seek.

Leaving St. James' Park, a small mind headed off in search of Buckingham Palace. This he found upon arrival was as always a throng of tourists, more so due to the special day.



Well, although the crowds could well have turned out for me, this was alas not the case so I left the Queen and Prince Philip to the tourists and made off towards Hyde Park.

Hyde Park Corner beckoned and also the chance of getting run over by a good old London bus, which sadly wasn't bendy.


Now a small mind is not one for dancing in the flowers, however he made special effort in observing the glories of The Rose Garden as he patrolled across the park.





Next stop on my tour was The Serpentine, a huge 28-acre lake created in 1730. Sadly the name had not come from a Nessie like creature living in its depths, but rather the sinister snake like shape that it forms.




The final stop before heading off for an education saw me sneaking into Kensington Gardens to observe the Albert Memorial and the Royal Albert Hall. I have since learnt that this memorial is not in honour of Uncle "During the War" Albert and actually in memory of the consort to Queen Victoria.


Without doubt you learn something everyday and a small mind turned on his heel with that purpose in mind and headed off down Exhibition Road.

To be continued...
