Bishop's Park, Fulham

Image
Bishop's Park is located at Fulham, near Putney Bridge train station of District Line. It has a great location due to Thames riverside or waterfront. Lovely tall trees decorate the banks of the river. Such a delight to see this from the opposite side.  On one side of the river, there are plenty of garages for Boats., mostly from colleges. Putney Pier is also located here and can commute all the way to London.  On the other side of the river, you get to see Bishop's Park and Fulham Football Club.  Bishiop's park is long and rectangular and got plenty of places to picnic or sit and relax by the riverside. Ice cream shops, Fish and Chips, Donna's coffee shop, couple of pubs are all situated around. Do take a stroll in the weekend ! Stay safe. 

Selfie walking route called Southern Ridges

Hello Friends, Southern ridges is an excellent walking route for lot of reasons... one of them is, mainly for taking selfies with nice back drops. Route: 1. Kent Ridge Park [via Pond or direct canopy walk) : There are some 3 parking lots around the park. I prefer to start the walk from road side of NACLI office as it allows us to do steep climb walk of around 650 meters.  Once you reach the hill, you can either take right side direction to enter the park via road and to the main entrance of the park or take left [Car Park B] and carry out roundabout walk to see the Pond and enter the park after climbing some more stairs. Canopy walk is simple and not long,  you can read through some war time memory posters while walking. If lucky, you can spot some small green snake sometimes. This is also a good picnic spot. 2. Hort Park: You can enter the Hort Park (Back side) and see the glass houses. Enjoy the all around greenery, flowers, colorful plants and decors of Ho...

Martin Mere wetland, Lancashire

I visited Martin Mere Wetland reserve at Lancashire in 2011. I fondly remembered the large land and walking aroud while I was scanning through old pictures and decided to write about it. Pls plan your visit -->  https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/martin-mere/plan-your-visit/ I vividly remember the nice spaces created for photographers and it was awesome to setup tripod and tracking the birds. I also recollect the cute, active  Grey crowned Crane and it was very nice to see it running here and there and never stopping. More than hundreds of birds are there inside wet lands and season details are nicely detailed out in the portal. Enjoy and support nature.

Picnic to Kusu Island

Intro: Marina South Pier [Red line in SMRT] nicely ferries you to two Islands - St. John's Island and Kusu Island. I didn't realise that Kusu Island is a great picnic spot until I visited. Here I go with the write up on the nice time I had ! Plan your picnic:  a. Buy food and drink (water,  beer or soft drinks) before you start the trip as there are no shops in both these islands. b. Marina South Pier has some snack and souvenir shops. c. Pls wear casual clothes and flip flops. d. Do take sun glasses and sunscreen lotion. e. How about taking bluetooth speakers if you are going in group ? Where to Start: Marina south pier and buy tickets for ferry - Adult price 18 SGD; Children 12 SGD.  Ferry will first head to St. John's Island first before heading to Kusu Island... in a loop. Understanding the ferry schedule could be little tricky - just remember you are starting at Marina South pier and first stop is St John's ... and then to Kusu Island - plan your ...
