I found the main part of the park and headed towards that. Excellent I thought to myself, Sunday afternoon football. I let Tommy off anyway and it did take him a whole 10 minutes before he started running on the pitch trying to join in…back on lead and away from the pitches.
We started to walk along the far perimeter fence, and what I didn’t know is that Regents Park is next to London Zoo! Tommy had his first sights of Ostriches and Hippo!
