Holland Park

On route I saw a digital display declaring the temperature at 33 degrees. I think it must have been broken but I was beginning to wish I hadn't worn jeans!

Reviews for Holland Park
Saturday was hot. So, where better to spend the day than in a Park. After having a slow start to the day I jumped on the 28 bus and headed to Holland Park to meet a couple of friends - Luke and Matt.

After picking up some suntan lotion (I normally turn beetroot after a day in the sun!) I rolled up my jeans and hit the park.
Holland Park has got a lot on offer. There's a sports field, some wooded walks, a Japanese style garden and even an ice house which on a day like Saturday must have been pretty non-existent!
Once meeting up with my friends we decided on a patch of grass next to the Orangery and cracked open the first of many beers.
We tried a bit of unsuccessful celebrity spotting and instead settled for a 'look a like' competition. I won with a guy who I thought was a spitting image of Donald Trump...or maybe he just had a silly boufant!
It turned out that both Luke and Matt had placed some bets on the Grand National, so given that I know nothing about horse racing or betting I decided to do the same. I ended up putting (a small amount) of money on six outsiders. We agreed that if any of us won we would all go out for a big night. We all lost, but by the empty state of my wallet the next day I guess we went out anyway.
By the way, the park's great and I would definitely recommend it.
