A 16th walker had missed the train, eagerly cut out the loop through Horniman Park as a means of catching us up, but inadvertendly had overtaken us by doing that, so was awaiting us at the Dulwich Picture Gallery when we got there. All (seemingly) had booked tickets, and conveniently one of the hourly free guided tours through the current exhibition was about to start, so most went on that. <br />The rest admired the pavilion (it looks more interesting in reality than on the pictures you may have seen in the press) and then sat in the garden with a drink from the pop-up cocktail bar. As dusk descended, and with no sign yet of the free tour attendees re-emerging, 5 went on to the trusted Rocca Italian Restaurant. <br />Splendid evening. <br />Weather: w=perfect Attendees: n=16 Of that number also on yesterday's Wanstead Park walk: 3Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.com
