The panoramic view from the top of Primrose Hill was absolutely perfect this morning. It was warm, clear, sunny, and there was a sense of spring in the air. I bet the view of the city would be stunning from this hill at night, and hope I get a chance to take my parents there when they arrive. I was shocked to see a public drinking fountain, because they seem quite rare in London; needless to say, I was not surprised when it wasn't working. It was a cool drinking fountain, though, and the second drinking fountain we found later on that walk was the craziest design I have ever seen! I am really glad that they didn't build the remaining 48 villas and opened this park to the public, because it's gorgeous! The little stream with the peaceful waterfall was so pretty, especially with the ducks and swans hanging around. The ducks had a cool red and green feather pattern on their back, which is entirely different than the ducks at my house at home. It was fun seeing the football (soccer) and the rugby fields. I love the idea of public boating ponds, and was sad when there weren't any children boating in the one for kids. It was interesting to see Charles Cockerell's house and know that he is the architect that started the monument we saw in Edinburgh. Overall, a very beautiful and low-key walk.
