To Lee Valley Park today for a tour of the Park. I had been invited by the Chairman and Management, particularly since Lea Valley covers so much of the Harlow Constituency, surrounding parts of Nazeing.
It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning - and have a hearty breakfast beforehand in the Park Cafe.
Travelling around the park, you can't help but see the very best of nature on our doorstep: lakes, rare birds, rivers, natural habitat, including the most remarkable weeping willows.
What made the visit even more special was to see the Olympic WhiteWater canoeing stadium - almost completed. The good news is that it will be ready by April 2011 - well before the Olympics start - giving canoeists around the country a chance to use these amazing facilities.
P.S. I hope you like the pictures.
