After two years of living near Paddington Rec, we only just discovered that it has a nature trail.

We saw some real life nature in action.

These ducks were managing to outsmart the eager cats.

Afterwards, we decided to work out lunch off with a walk around the park.

Tom made it rain blossom everywhere.

I got a super sparkly red cupcake, which matched my new red shoes and bag which had arrived earlier in the day.

We sat and ate our cakes in Paddington Rec while watching a game of cricket.

We got takeout brunch and headed to the park, where we were serenaded by a jazz band while we ate.

I love Paddington Rec, it’s a really active park and you’ll find people doing every kind of sport, working out with their personal trainers and walking their dogs on any given day. We always feel guilty eating while laying on the grass as people exercise around us.

Today we made our own pizzas for dinner and took them to the park. They were really tasty!

When eating love hearts, Tom and I only eat the applicable ones, so I eat the girl ones and Tom eats the boy ones. Luckily for me, there's always more girly ones.

Tom decided he was going to teach me how to play piano today, so we grabbed our roll-up piano and headed to the park.

I figured out how to play the scales with both hands at the same time, in both direction, and I’m also learning to read music. Tom’s teaching me in the Nebraska Field Notes notebook that I got for his birthday.

Afterwards we went to the park to collect leaves to make a leaf wreath, like I spotted yesterday.

Louise made friends with the flowers.

It was snowing when we headed out to do our last spot of Christmas shopping today and the friendly squirrel was out in the park.

We took our lunch to the park again today.

A squirrel was munching it's way through a packet of chips.

After lunch Tom helped me pick flowers to press in the flower press my Dad made me for Christmas.
