Short walk and Greenwich

The weather is starting to get a little colder here. The temps are in the lower 50's and there is more rain and with that the leaves are falling. The house across the street that we never saw is in plain sight. It's a large house and i'm sure at one time had a huge front yard that took up where our house is. There has been a small amount of fog, but not what we had expected. Maybe that will come later in the year.
Leanne has been very busy at work and has been working long hours. She said its the time of year for her line of work and hopes it will slow down next month.
She has not seen the foxes on her morning walks, yes it is hard to believe but there are foxes in London. There red foxes, and when you first see them your not sure what they are. Coach does and if he's not on his leash he's gone after them.   http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/05/foxes-london.html

 As far as other wildlife around our area there are squirrels but we have not seen any rabbits.
There are pigeons and they are big and fat.  http://www.londonpigeons.co.uk/

 The locals have to make it hard for them to congregate overhead where people are.
 One of the things they do is put wire pointed up so they can't land and they also put up netting to keep them out of the tubes (subway).

You don't want them to drop there lunch on you.

and i don't know how they do it but they have there own Facebook page   https://www.facebook.com/pigeonsoflondon/

And there are the peacocks in Holland Park, we have to watch Coach when there walking around. He almost had one once, good thing they can fly.

On Sunday we went to Greenwich    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich
 to walk in Greenwich park.

 The park is 183 acres and the former Royal Observatory, Greenwich and the Prime Meridian passes through the building.   On one side of the line is the Eastern hemisphere and on the other is the Western hemisphere. 

Also at the observatory is the 24 hour Shepherds gate clock

and under it the standard length wall. 

More statues of famous people we didn't know. This is James Wolfe a British officer that captured of Quebec. For some reason we never learned this in our history classes.

Leanne and Coach in a section of the park. A little while later Coach was chasing a squirrel. The squirrel zigged  and Coach zagged  and he ended up hurting his front leg. He came limping back and our day in the park was over. As we were walking out of the park another squirrel ran in front of him and he was off again. Apparently his leg was not that sore, but after the run he was limping even more. The leash was put on him for the rest of the walk.

On the way out of the park we saw the masks of the Cutty Sark

That will be a story for another day
