Rain? What rain said the intrepid 2 as they set off on the tram to Beckenham.
A cemetery we had been meaning to visit was our chosen start point. By the time we were in the cemetery the sun was out. We agreed that neither of us had ever seen one like this before (we're going to book our places there!). Wendy will be amused because it is the resting place of Thomas Crapper who died in Anerley (is there a joke there?) although we didn't find it (his grave, of course!). One stop on the train from Birkbeck and we were at Crystal Palace which was getting ready for tonight's firework display. So some of the paths were closed but it was as lovely as ever.
On Crystal Palace Parade we admired # 9 recently featured on 'Gorgeous George's Small Spaces'. For those of you who missed the programme it's a converted underground public convenience. (pic)

We were then in the Crystal Palace Triangle (spooky music...) which is the new up and coming place to eat. Lots of restaurants, pubs and bars. Being a walk day we estewed the brazilian/vietnamese/portuguese/turkish/indian/asian & plumped for a regular pub The Sparrow Hawk where believe it or not TB enjoyed pie!We had dressed for more rain than we actual saw. After lunch we walked around
the triangle checking out the shops & restaurants, admiring the views & architecrure. To the north views of the Shard and to the south the Downs. The whole area had a really buzzy feel & we plan to go back Saturday for a farmers' mkt and LUNCH! |
