Herne Hill market and Brockwell Park

Brockwell Park is a bit of a walk from our neighbourhood but it's good to visit for a change. It featured in a 2011 post, An Anniversary of Sorts.

I've had two relatively recent trips, one to the Lambeth Country Fair with Theo and another with Jackie and Theo.

At the Fair, Theo rushed to sit down to watch the choir, clapping along.
Theo really enjoyed the fair, particularly watching the fair rides with their bright lights, however, by the time the camel racing started he was getting a little restless. 

I enjoyed the Camel racing though, it was a bit lame but a novelty all the same. 


The next, and last trip to Brockwell Park started with a visit to Herne Hill market which is across the road from the park.

We picked up lots of yummy food for lunch and spent a little time listening to the live band





We took a walk around Herne Hill which was recently flooded. Many shops were empty as they fixed flood damage.
Not even the gingerbread men could escape the flooding. 

This bottle top in concrete footpath survived

On to the park. Theo is the tiny person to the left of Jackie. He didn't want to be seen out with his parents. 

Bye bye Brockwell Park.

  1. Yes, sadly not many kids want to be seen out with their parents.
