Yesterday we took Eve and Leah on their first family ramble, organised by Southwark Ramblers. The five mile walk started at Blackheath train station and ended on the Isle of Dogs, except we dipped out at the Queens House at Greenwich to see the tulip staircase, plus Eve was on the verge of mutiny if we made her walk another step.

After Blackheath we entered Greenwich Park

The view from the top of the hill was wonderful

Even in the rain

We’ll definitely give future family rambles a try and we were impressed that Eve and Leah managed to walk for a couple of miles without asking for a horsey ride or a go on Daddy’s shoulders.

Since our last visit to the Maritime Museum in June, the new entrance, complete with water feature has been opened. Perfect for a dip for Speedy McQueen and almost for Leah too.
