We took it easy this weekend as we were both getting over the cold we got when we went to the states. What we mostly did is just walk in the parks. It is something we will really miss when its time to go back to the states.
We always seem to fine something new as we walk in Hyde park. This time it was two sculptures. As we walked towards one of them, Coach looks back to make sure Leanne is following.
To the left of where i was walking was the Hole in the head statue. I could not find any info on them so i just call them the Hole in the head. Just think a person got paid to make them.
This statue is called "Rush of Green"

The sculpture group includes a long-limbed family – father, mother, son and dog – rushing towards Hyde Park, encouraged by the Greek god Pan playing his pipes.
Another new thing we noticed was the gate for the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.

It is a cavalry regiment of the British Army tasked primarily with ceremonial duties.
They have been at this location since 1795
Saturday night Leanne kept saying that we had plans to go someplace, and I said that i didn't remember planning anything. To make a long story short, we did have plans to see the play Cinderella. She was right and i was wrong---to make maters worse I was the one that ordered the tickets.
The good thing is it was just a short bus ride away. The play would take place in a tent and as we got closer we see it.
It was cold outside but the tent was heated. As we got closer we thought we would see more people. It was a big tent and not a lot of people. We even thought we got our days mixed up.
I guess they need to spend more money on advertising. The stands didn't fill up much more than this, it was almost like a private show.
It was a musical so there was a small orchestra off to the side. Over all it was a good play and you had to feel sorry for the cast and crew as they had to play to an empty house.
It a foggy morning both Saturday and Sunday, Coach got a little ahead of him self.
When he realized we were going the other way he turned around.
Pigeons, there are lots of them.
These guy were taking a break, while waiting for the fog to clear. People are told not to feed them but they do anyway. And they are fat compared to the ones in the U.S.
so a slow easy weekend, but we did find time to get a tree.
Its not a great tree, but it will do.
Coach was not very happy because it was in his area, he's getting over it.
