Azalea Hash in Richmond...

Jimmy was on a train back from Brussels that evening, but I was happy to be around to do Man Magnet’s spectacular annual Azalea Hash for West London H3 on April 25. It was an A-to-B trail starting in Richmond and ending in Kingston with the bulk of the trail in Richmond Park. 

The main goal of this particular trial was to see the azaleas in bloom in Isabella Plantation, a large Victoria garden from 1830. Man Magnet regularly volunteers at the gardens of Hampton Court, so she was the perfect hare to bring us through this beautiful garden when it was in full bloom. 

Glad I wore the correct colors.

The rest of the park seemed almost boring in comparison. It got dark while we were at the drink stop which was in the park, but we eventually found our way out to the city streets and on to the pub,
