We left in the dark and arrived as the sun was coming up. The wind was ferocious and bitterly cold but it was lovely to have very few people around in the park and just the wildlife and views to entertain us!
And, during the course of wandering around the park, we espied a lady clad in nothing but a swim suit and swimming cap coming out of the Serpentine in the freezing cold having been in for a swim!! We were advised by a notice, that swimming was only permitted if you were a member of the swimming club and then you were restricted in swimming between 6.30 and 9.00 a.m. Well...I have a self-imposed restriction on swimming in these temperatures from 12 midnight to 12 midnight!!!!
One of Selfridges many interesting shop windows..

Thoroughly enjoyed your spectacular shots of the park, nature, and various spots around London. What a wonderful time you must have had, and thanks so much for sharing your visit.

Hi Tricia, you and Pete do have some fun days out. Lots of lovely photos here but my favourite is the lovely little Robin.
As I said to Pete, swimming in January, good grief!!
Nice shots and a good read.
I can't believe that I've missed so many of your posts. I love the shot of the gulls on the posts. The statues are great as well. I wouldn't mind that angel in my garden.
