Walking during 'Monsoon Weekend'

Julia and I had hoped to go for a 'proper' walk this weekend, but the weather was bad at the end of the week, and the headlines on the paper were talking about the 'Monsoon Weekend'.

So instead of heading out into the country we did a wee stroll locally instead. Walked up to Wimbledon Common (didn't see the Wombles - they must have been hiding...), through the common to Richmond Park, through Richmond Park (past the deer), into Richmond for lunch, then along the river past Kingston and back to Surbiton. So we reckon it was probably around 6-8 miles anyhow, so not a bad stretch.

And in between the rain it was really rather pleasant!
