When you live in a concrete jungle, you need an escape. Parks take you into another world, where you can pretend the traffic, trains and daily rat race don’t exist.
Nature becomes more apparent and you might be tempted to get back in touch with it by laying in the grass, or snoozing under a tree.
Speaking of trees, funny how you suddenly you become obsessed with trees – “wow look at that tree”, like you’ve never seen trees before; you never really stop to admire them in ‘real life’ but when you’re living the ‘park life’ trees become iPhone worthy!
The birds singing, ducks on the water, dragonflies and grey squirrels take on a whole new meaning, a beautiful calm and peaceful one.
You’ve escaped. You’re living the park life.
Enjoy!
Admiring the trees…
Hot waffle with toffee sauce – quick sugar rush!!
So pretty
Find a bench, and relax
Anyone for ice cream?

I love sitting in the sunshine in the park, perhaps reading a book or watching the children play, just people-watching in general. Love to see the ducks on the lake and not forgetting eating a nice soft ice cream.
Cherryl
Yes, a spot of people watching is always a good way to pass the time 🔆🍦

Very true – there’s something about nature that resonates with all of us and makes us relax 🌾🌿🔆

#parklife I just love parks because I can switch off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just relax, slow down and enjoy the (usual) calm and beauty of nature

I go to the park most days – I need to breathe the fresh air, see the tress and flowers and listen to the birds. I think my favourite things is that the colours are gentle on the eyes
Cherryl
Yes, those lush greens are a sight for sore eyes!!

#parklife I love parks so much, there is nothing better than a brisk walk around the park, then relaxing with a picnic and enjoying watching the ducks.
Cherryl
Picnics and ducks go hand in hand with park life – and walking is such a pleasure when you have peace and beauty around you 🌳🔆

#parklife A very early park walk is a great start of the day.
