A morning at Hengrove Park

April 8, 2014 By Carolin 20 Comments

Last week, we were blessed with a couple of days without rain, so my neighbour and friend Emma and I thought, we should make the most of it and take the kids over to Hengrove Park, a park just around the corner from us.

Last weekend, we went to St Pauls in Bristol to celebrate the annual St Pauls Afrikan Caribbean Carnival.
