To a bookshop, via Hampstead Heath. Taking gentle exercise: up the hill and back down again.
 |
| Hampstead Heath in bloom - cow parsley and chestnut |
 |
| Dappled shade and dogwalkers |
 |
| More dapples, with runners this time |
 |
| Into Hampstead village, with churchbells ringing peals (interminably, it seemed) |
 |
| A good year for wisteria |
 |
| Seen on Flask Walk |
 |
| Neighbours - wisteria and clematis |
 |
A touch of Arabia on the way back to the station
(and mares' tails heralding a change in the weather) |
Near the station is
Daunt Books - "travel, literature, and non-fiction" (they have some interesting talks to listen to,
here). So many books, so little time, so many that I wanted to read immediately (but did not buy) -
We were prowling round in the Berlin section, with its fiction conveniently grouped -
A good half of the books were set in or dealt with WW2. I was after something more historical, or more modern, not sure which; again, I wasn't able to choose anything to buy. Maybe the desired novel will appear when we get there. Or after we come back?
