London Life: Bank Holiday Monday = Picnic/BBQ...

...I chose a picnic with my friend Anne, at the Hampton Court Palace Big Picnic, where for the length of the bank holiday weekend you are allowed to bring a picnic into the gardens of this wonderful setting, including tables, chairs etc then sit and eat until you are content.

So off I set to get a blip and enjoy the sun and there I sat 'Billy no mates' on my own, with people staring, pointing and laughing at me (actually I made that bit up), lay back under the suns warm glow and watched episodes of Family Guy on my iPad (I really should get myself some friends).

Whilst walking around taking photos I managed to lose one of my lenses that I stupidly placed in my pocket, but thankfully picnic goers are an honest lot and it was recovered in lost property later (phew....). I have to say that it was such a lovely event that next time I may bribe some people to keep me company.

Quick thanks to you all for the comments, stars and hearts for my Camden visit yesterday. Thanks to Sara for nudging me to swap photos and also to my mate Steve for blpping a request from Jayne.

Hope that you have all had a great extended weekend

p.s. look at my year ago thumbnail blip, my second day with a proper camera, I thought that this shot was so cool at the time...
