Part of me says I just wasted an entire afternoon, although given its my own fault for not checking before i set off, I can’t really complain. Last night on the London news I learned about a summer festival up in Hyde park and, still in a party mood from the weekend, thought I’d go look. I was sure they said it was free entry, and an afternoon like this is too nice to waste. There was definitely talk of free film screenings, which was especially alluring. I set off at about one, taking the tube then the bus. It looked great in the distance, but as I rolled up to the turnstyles I began to see signs about tickets. To cut a long story short it turned out it was £65 just to get in, so I simply turned and headed home – I just wanted a nice, pleasant walk somewhere fun rather than a full-on outing. Oh well; it seems there’s no such thing as a free festival, but at least I had a good walk.
