Sticks and larks in Royal parks

A week ago today (Sunday) I spent the afternoon with my brother and terrific sister in law. We took Toby and Quaddy for a romp and a run in Windsor Great Park (about 11 miles from their house and 2.2 miles from the Queen's).

I had not been before and it had pretty much everything to tick the boxes for a Blog BS5 post. We saw a massive statue of George III; a terrific view of Windsor Castle; loads of planes on the final approach to Heathrow (including an A380, which was massive); runners, cyclists, gallopers on horseback , and some very big sticks and a stinky pond.  Needless to say T&Q took advantage of those last two, and the car journey home was fragrant.
