This park always has special memories for me. Flying a kite when I was younger and sailing a boat on the pond. So much fun!!
Thanks Miles. It's Blackheath or the Heath not a common or a park. Check out the pond near the Hare and Billet pub. There's often a heron there, probably from the heronry in Manor Gardens.
Awesome fireworks every year! A great place to have a picnic and a beer in the summer.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
