15:48:10 Clouds looking a little bit ominous when I first arrived on the heath. | 15:48:40 The clouds adding some drama to the view from Parliament Hill. | 15:56:04 Alas this Gusbourne Blanc de Noirs was faulty and I decided to abandon it after a few sips. | 16:22:15 View from the barrow. |
17:10:47 The sky taking on a rather ncie silvery hue now. | 17:11:28 | 17:13:53 Given the rather disappointing faulty bottle of Gusbourne, I went to the wine shop at the edge of the heath to see what I might find as a substitute - fortunately they had some chilled Exton Park in the fridge. | 17:29:30 More interesting silver skies. |
17:43:11 | 17:56:41 | 17:59:12 | 18:04:17 The London skyline. |
18:04:27 | 18:06:08 View from just below the top of Parliament Hill, where I decided to sit for a while. | 18:09:07 | 18:09:12 |
18:12:26 | 18:19:29 | 18:21:26 | 18:32:55 |
18:32:55 | 18:33:04 | 18:53:41 | 18:53:55 Chie came to join me for a bit. |
18:55:42 The sun shining over the top of Parliament Hill. | 18:58:04 | 19:23:05 Sky going a bit pink over yonder. | 19:24:12 |
19:25:54 | 19:26:33 | 19:28:00 Something like a sunset from the top of Parliament Hill. | 19:30:42 Having learned I would not need to be home for dinner, I had gone and picked up a pizza, and decided some red might be a more appropriate accompaniment than sparkling, so also picked up this bottle of Pinot Noir made at an "urban winery" in London (albeit with Italian grapes). |
19:31:24 I shared some with a passing couple who stopped by to chat. Thought it was rather nice - very fresh, cherries and wild strawberries. |
