Wiggle - Day 1,869

Today is our last full day in the city so this morning I made sure Wiggle, Sofy and Toby had a good walk and we went to Moredon Hall Park.

 

Despite heavy rain showers this week, the river was low, so it was more about splashing than swimming:

 

 

Toby went to investigate under the bridge:

 

Sofy and Wiggle, paddling:

 

Out of the water and our walk across the park:

 

Wiggle was way ahead, under the tree's but Sofy and Toby were staying closer to me:

 

One of the last few group shots of our holiday:

 

Wiggle & Sofy run around after the ball, while Toby just runs around:

 

Back in the water for more paddling:

 

Toby didn't feel like chasing the ball so left it to Sofy and Wiggle:

 

All 3 getting wet:

 

Wiggle had brought me the ball:

 

This afternoon, Wiggle wanted to spend some time on the balcony:

 

Deciding it was a good spot, he lay down to snooze in the sun:

 

Before long though, he had company:

 

Toby's humans are on their way back and tomorrow we go home but we've had a lovely holiday, done lots and we'll look forward to the next time we visit.

Wiggle - Day 1,868

Last night we had another storm with very heavy rain, thunder and lightning but this morning, the sun was out and there was a nice breeze - perfect for our walk at Nonsuch Park.

 

All three were enjoying the open space:

 

 

Sofy didn't want to be away from me for too long:

 

Wiggle was running with his ball, going this way:

 

And that way:

 

Toby was also having fun:

 

Before long, they found some water:

 

Having a good time, splashing around:

 

After making the biggest splash, Sofy got the ball:

 

 

We carried on with our walk:

Wiggle - Day 1,867

Wiggle and I had another sightseeing afternoon today.  We woke up to stormy weather with heavy rain and thunder, but we got a walk in this morning on Tooting Bec Common and then at lunchtime, we caught the bus to Sloane Square.

 

Wiggle likes looking out the window of the bus:

 

 

We travelled to Embankment and boarded the Thames Clipper, this time heading east:

 

The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben:

 

Wiggle seems to enjoy travelling by boat:

 

The Oxo Tower on the South Bank:

 

Our view of the capital:

 

Shakespeare's Globe, a replica of the original 1599 Globe Theatre:

 

The Shard, towering behind Pickfords Wharf:

 

Wiggle was still enjoying the journey, enjoying the breeze from the river and the sunshine:

 

Tower Bridge:

 

Butlers Wharf, built in 1873, originally a shipping warehouse for goods unloaded into the Port of London, now luxury apartments:

 

Tower Bridge, with the BT Tower and the dome of St Paul's in the background:

 

As we continued along the river, Canary Wharf was coming into view:

 

Columbia Wharf, built in 1864, now partly apartments and also a Hilton Hotel:

 

Wiggle decided the best place was in between my feet:

 

Soon we were nearing our destination as the Cutty Sark came into view:

 

Greenwich!  We'd arrived:

 

Wiggle at the Old Royal Naval College:

 

Canary Wharf, as seen from Greenwich:

 

We wandered around for a while, stopped for coffee (me) and water (Wiggle) then got the Thames Clipper, the Underground and then the bus back home.  As always, Wiggle was an absolute star getting lots of fuss and attention.  He's sleeping now, worn out after our afternoon of sights and history...

Wiggle - Day 1,866

Another hot day here so we headed out early to Wimbledon Common for our walk:

 

 

Sensible dogs, running in the shade:

 

But Sofy isn't often sensible, se she ran around in the sunshine:

 

All three:

 

The lovely weather was in contrast to the rainy day we'd had on Tuesday:

 

This afternoon, Wiggle and I went out for lunch.  We stopped at Costa for a refreshing mango & passionfruit cooler, which Wiggle finished:

 

Then we headed to Samba Swirl for frozen yoghurt - Wiggle managed to open the biscuit jar and help himself to a cookie:

 

While I chose cappuccino and double chocolate froyo, Wiggle enjoyed lemon meringue flavour:
