After 11 days of travelling over Southern England visiting family and friends, I am now going up to Woodstock, near Oxford to see my nephew Richard and his two daughters, Ella and Louise, and their mother Leah. I shall be leaving the parrots of Teddington later on this morning, plus my camera. More pictures to follow.

This is Bushy Park in South London. Parrots, crows, mallards, horses, and all 35 minutes from central London.

From West Sussex and my Aunt's memorial service I drove down to Dorset with Richard, my nephew, to go and stay with his half sister Polly, my niece, and his step-mother Rusty. We had a great time. I went running with Richard, which was quite a stretch for me.Richard is fitter than I am. !!

In Dorset

I left El Rio on January 19th., with snow on the mountains. I landed at Gatwick Airport and was met by Kate, my niece, and she drove me to her new house. 

What an incredible mansion, used by the Bohemian "Bloomsberry Set", and beautifully restored to it's former splendour by Kate and Harvey. It's BIG. !

I've uploaded a view from the house and a picture of some snowdrops, blooming on the grass outside the house.
