ST JAMES'S PARK, LONDON

View along water in St James's Park. St James's Park is at the very heart of London and covers 23 hectares. It is often filled with people relaxing on a Saturday afternoon with a drink and some food. With a lake harbouring ducks, geese and pelicans. St James's is also home to the Mall, the setting for many ceremonial parades and events of national celebration.

PADSTOW, CORNWALL

Join me now in Padstow in Cornwall. Padstow is an example of what we do best - it's a working port which wears a holiday hat. (according to the tourist information centre, but I quite like the image) The Town with its colourful harbour surrounded by pastel-washed medieval houses is an attraction in itself. See the picture of one of the first impressions... the pubs are alive with hanging baskets. So many!!!
