Crystal Park is approximately 20 minutes walk from my home and is a wonderful place to visit, as are the other places covered in this post.
A warm Wlogger welcome to you and thanks for joining me on my next walking adventure of the capital! My expedition today will see me explore South-East London as I begin at Crystal Palace Park and explore its stadium, lakes, green areas… and dinosaurs!

I met a young lady called White.
But come the dawn
I felt forlorn
As I missed my wallet and White …
I know a young lady called Heart
Who is obsessed with collecting fine art.
When she showed me her etching
I found it most fetching
And we spent the night talking art …
It is my birthday tomorrow

On the morrow
For I shall turn 50 on Sunday
And an unaccountable headache, will with me stay
Throughout my birthday.
Though the hair of the dog will remain
To ease my pain …
I know a young lady called Heart
Who is a lover of fine art.
When I showed her my etching
She took to sketching,
But I didn’t think much of her art.
I know a young lady called Kate
Who has enjoyed many a hot date.
My girlfriend Leigh

And we are very fond of Kate!
Entering the room
In headscarf
With just a hint of perfume.
Half West
And the rest?
She is familiar with the headscarf.
And the rest
