I had this insulated sleeve thing from some delivery or other in the past, and thought it might just about fit a pizza box in it - I was right. So this helped to keep my pizza warm as I was transporting it to the heath.

So here I am atop Parliament Hill with my pizza, no competition for benches this evening given that the weather was a bit iffy.

Domaine Gachot-Monot's 2013 Chambolle Musigny which was perhaps not the best choice of wine to accompany my pizza, given that my pizza had chilli peppers on it, and somehow the combination led to a weird and not entirely pleasant flavour sensation. Anyway the wine was nice in and of itself once I had finished the pizza and had a glass to cleanse my palate a bit.

The view from the top of Parliament Hill. I found the gloom today oddly appealing - perhaps it was the fact it was a Friday evening in June and yet I seemed to have the heath pretty much to myself.

Can't really see much through the gloom!

I decided to head over to the barrow.

Going through the wooded bit between the top of Parliament Hill and the barrow.

Really lovely in amongst the trees.

The barrow, looking ever so slightly foreboding in the gloom.

The view from the barrow, such as it was.

I got surprisingly wet feet this evening from the wet grass.

Leaving the barrow once again.

The sculpture thing in the midst of the wooded bit.

Are these still some kind of oak? The leaves look huge.

Last photo as I was leaving the heath.
