An easy weekend


After a busy trip to Switzerland the weekend before and an extra busy week for Leanne at work, it was decided to have an easy weekend

Leanne would take Coach on a Saturday morning walk in the parks of Kensington and Hyde. The morning sun was beautiful

walk in the high grass with hopes of finding a bunny or squirrel.


I had caught up to them about an hour after they started and walked with them a bit. It was a beautiful day. That night we would go to the Studs and Spouses event. The Studs are the expats that i meet with every week for a pint or two. Once a year we have a party as a thank you to our wives for putting up with us. We had a great time as we sleep in late the next day.


When we finally got up on Sunday we knew we had to get up and do something. We enjoyed the Wimbledon Commons park that we had done a few weeks ago so we would head back there.
There were more people here this time, we figured it was because it was later in the day.


Such a great park, lot of trees. It felt like being in northern Michigan.



Once in the park Coach is free to run all over. 




There were horses and luckily he did not run after them. 




Most of the park is like this. Small walking paths with an occasional bike rider or horse and rider.




A watering trough for the horses and the dog.



Coach enjoying more high grass.



And we met up with the horses again. 



This group got dressed up for Halloween 



In the middle of the park is a public golf course, a windmill museum and a concession stand.
A welcome break after a walk.




Coach doing his best imitation of a regal dog. He's good for about 5 to 6 miles and then he slows down----unless there is a bunny or squirrel. Today was a 5 1/2 mile day so when we got home he was done for the day. 






We passed this sign on the way home. We looked around an didn't see anyone breaking the law.





No fly tipping means "don't dump your trash"
