On a past trip to London (England that is), we stayed at a hotel in South Kensington which was only a short walk to Hyde Park. On a sunny Autumn morning we were taking a morning stroll and noticed these deck chairs set up by the banks of the river. They looked so colorful, tranquil and very English I thought. We were tempted to take a seat and soak in the sun for a while but unfortunately had other places to see. I can imagine they would have a calming effect if you just sat there and watched the world go by.
It will be very nice to see those chairs in our central park in my county, maybe someday.
I, too, am tempted to stretch out and take a nap.
Fond memories of Hyde Park. My wife and I stayed within a block of this great park during our honeymoon some years ago.
