We went for an autumn walk on the heath yesterday. Hampstead Heath presented fall colours at its best--We walked passed people who were flying kites, couples and their crying babies, dads and sons playing rugby or football, joggers, loners and lovers. We trodded on wooden stairs, leaves, pebbles, grass and mud. Regent's Park was pretty in a contrived and manicured manner, yet the heath had a down-to-earth natural beauty. Close by the heath lived an architect and his kind-hearted wife. Now you'd assume that an architect's home would be somewhat different from an non-architect's dwelling, and indeed it was nicely designed. The upper floor windows invited all the nearby greenery; the kitchen, dining room and living room laid out neatly in an open space. Downstairs you might mistaken yourself walking into a toilet on the train! Some design the likes of Regent's Park, some prefer the heath.
