When I think of London I don’t immediately think of countryside.   But there is certainly is plenty of green space round about Brentford where we are staying just now.   Yesterday morning I took the dogs for a walk in Osterley Park which belongs to the National Trust and is just a couple of miles or so from my daughter’s house.  It was a beautiful still, sunny morning and you could feel you were in the middle of the country, apart from the planes overhead, coming in the land at Heathrow Airport just a few miles way.

There is grass a plenty, trees, bushes, and near Osterley House itself, a lovely little lake with swans, geese, ducks, and the occasion heron.

My eye went to the reflections in the water with the coot swimming nearby.
