Little Moments

Not wanting to pay the prices for the Chelsea Flower Show, we decided to do the next best thing, Chelsea in Bloom. It started a week earlier so a lot of the flowers were starting to die, but the displays were still stunning.

The only time the walk got especially tricky was the final hurdle, walking towards Crystal Palace Park, which has a rather large hill to climb up. I had the option of either getting the bus, or walking, and I was proud of myself for choosing to walk!  Cyrstal Palace Park itself was a little disappointing for me, and it's definitely not one that I would be fussed about going back to. I found it a little tricky to navigate as it is sort of split into sections, and there also wasn't a huge amount to see or do either. I walked around the majority
