#RIVERSIDE: walking the dog offers unlimited opportunities to meet new dogs and their staff. This nice lady - whose name I forgot to ask - was staff to Luther here, a seven-year-old #GermanShepherd, and b-o-y do I love those dogs and if I had the time to look after one as they deserved, I would be all over it. This lady does 3-4 hours walks with Luther, who is as friendly as you get, but hates squirrels and mice, hence his jaws are a bit boarded-up until they reach #PetershamMeadows a few more yards away and Luther can run like the wind. #alsatian #dogsofinstagram #richmond #visitrichmond

#RICHMONDHILL: a memorial bench reads, ‘“A good spot for a fine pint.” As enjoyed by Edward (Steve) Gunningham. Who would have enjoyed the view, were it not for that tree!’ Below: the view. #memorialbench #visitrichmond #richmond

Richmond Council asked everyone if they thought that the public loos here ought to be redeveloped into a cafe (with loos) and the answer was a resounding yes. Work has already started and there’s a big fence around this now.

The proposed layout of the new reconfigured block is here (pdf).

Expected opening Summer 2020. I look forward to it. Will make that corner a tad busier.

#RICHMOND: some of the deer just do not care that you’re on a bicycle and trying to get home, it’s their manor and they’ll just walk out like a drunk pedestrian fiddling with their phone, knowing that it’ll hurt you more than it’ll hurt them if you don’t drop an anchor #richmondpark #deer #cyclinghome #bicycle

#RICHMOND: bumped into my pal Tom, so we walked along the river, slipping and sliding on the silt left behind from high tide. #thames #london #river

Somebody is very cross with @hampoloclub and wants us all to know. “The Club is being run by vindictive bullies. Against Elderly And Disabled Members And Family Local Business”. Well, I don’t know what people would expect from a polo club but I don’t have high expectations myself. #hampoloclub #richmond #lbrut

Took the bus this morning. Regretted it. Jumped off, bolted down the alley next to the Boat Club, and was rewarded with the steam coming off the river on the bend. #thames #richmond #morning #commute #river
