SECRET PARK

It's maybe not so secret to folks who live/work in Croydon, but I had never heard of Tilford Park before we met the grandchildren there at the weekend.  Getting to it involved driving through a seemingly huge estate.  That's probably why I had never found it before.

It had lots of the sort of wild parkland that kids love

 and some cultivated parts that were equally fun.  I think someone's been cheating in this maze.

There was also a small zoo with the sorts of animals that kids enjoy watching.  But, as if to emphasize the secrecy of the place, MI5 seemed to have posted some mysterious code messages around the place.
 

 

I wonder what it means.

Since spending a couple of days with the kids, I have been fighting to throw off an incipient cold.  Why is it that kids are so contagious, yet seem not to get so ill themselves?  Anyway, I'm trying to walk it off.  Tomorrow I go on my third 10 mile walk this week.

In between, I am dosing myself up with Marmite, coffee and honey.  And look what I have just been sent!

 

That should knock any germs on the head.
