We were too tired to get to the Sion outlook, but had a
glimpse of the Children's play area though we had a problem getting out
again. We had to wait for the Overground at Kew Gardens, but
took the fast train at West Hampstead. I mucked up the
arrangements for our lift home, but at least I used the dumb phone for
the first time. |
