Brent Cross to Home and the Pineapple
Saturday 17th April 2021
After dropping Erika off at her Japanese school this morning I walked back home, which was a more pleasant walk than I expected, considering the rather grim start in Brent Cross. Then in the afternoon I went and paid my respects to the Pineapple, which had recently reopened.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the walk I could do passing through or at least alongside parks. This was the first small park I encountered.

10:13:57
Then another park a few minutes later.

10:14:18
Some blossom brightening up an otherwise fairly grim main road I had to walk alongside for a little while.

Entering Golders Hill now.

The menagerie in Golders Hill.

10:32:05
There's then a bit of relatively wild woodland between there and the next bit of parkland...

10:32:57
...the hill garden and Pergola.

10:32:59
I probably should have wandered around the pergola a bit more, but I was keen to press on.

...and now onto Hampstead Heath.

10:38:05
A different viewpoint over London.

10:46:43
Not far from the barrow here I think.

10:48:03
A little patch of bluebells.

10:50:40
There's the barrow.

10:53:32
The view over towards Highgate from near the top of Parliament Hill.

13:51:27
...and I made it in good time to be at the Pineapple when it opened (a necessity at the moment, given they could only serve to their very limited outdoor seating space).
