A Fountain In Primrose Hill

I saw this fountain in Primrose Hill yesterday.

Sadly, I don’t think it was working. My dietician told me I must drink more water.

Bassets Hunting In Primrose Hill

I took this picture on Primrose Hill this morning, as three bassets met up to do what bassets do best – hunt.

Obviously, there aren’t any hares on Primrose Hill in the middle of London, but a share of a substantial picnic would do just nicely.

Primrose Hill

When we lived in St. John’s Wood, we used to go to Primrose Hill a lot.  There is the hill itself and also the area that sits between the bridge over the West Coast Main Line out of Euston, the hill and Regent’s Park.

Note the tower blocks behind the railway.  Our doctor was in one of those towers, but which one I don’t know.

The bridge has been painted as long as I can remember.  This is the south side.

And this is the north.

These paintings were done in 2007.

I wandered around the area, found that some of our friends were still about after nearly forty years and took a picture of the old Mustoe Bistro.

Where was Mustoe Bistro?

Sadly, it is now a shop selling up market bric-a-brac.  I’d much prefer Edward’s simple fare and interesting chat.

I then walked to the top of the hill on my way to St. John’s Wood.
