One Sock in Mudchute Park and Farm

May 24th, 2008 · No Comments



When my friend asked me whether I wanted to walk through the park with animals to get to the DLR station from Canary Wharf, I thought she was talking about regular park animals. You know, ducks, doves, geese, and the like. But this place is amazing! A real farm in the middle of London! Well.. not in the middle as in the city centre, as Mudchute is in the east. But it is very close to Canary Wharf where they have all the big and ugly office buildings. You can actually see the buildings from the farm. My friend took a cool picture of cows with Canary Wharf building scenery on the background. Everyone thought that she photoshoped it! They had everything there: chickens (all kinds), goats, sheeps, donkeys (the first time I saw donkeys!), pigs, and even llamas! I wonder what are llamas doing in a farm? anyone can come and pet the animals, have picnics, etc for free. Kids would really love i and on this very nice and warm day I saw some children out with their parents looking evry excited to see all the animals. And everything is free of charge! This is what I love about London. There are so many things you can do in the city that would not cost you anything. I guess for people who have lived in the cit for years they do not notice how niice and convenient this is, but for someone coming from a country where even primary education is not free, this is very nice.
Walking away from the farm, I saw one black sock lying on the grass. Good thing I had my spray paint,chalk would have been useless for this. How can someone drop one sock in the middle of a farm? It would be interesting to know where taht sock have been. It looks worn as well, and muddy.
