Hungry birds

At lunchtime I ran 9 miles through the parks: St James' Park, Green Park and Hyde Park, up to the  end of the Serpentine and back.

This photo is of early Georgian terraced houses (built in 1720-1725) on Lord North Street, leading to St. John's church.

Harold Wilson lived in this street while he was Prime Minister in the early 1970s. During this time it's claimed he was burgled by renegade MI5 officers.

In the 1980s Jonathan Aitken, MP and Cabinet Minister also lived here. Before he went to prison, that is.

Back at work I told my friend Nick that I would have done a fast run, if I hadn't had to stop to take so many photos. For some reason he wasn't convinced.

I think the above photos prove my point, don't you?
