A day out in Hampstead Heath

It is thought that John Constable painted this view from an upstairs window 
of his home in Lower Terrace, Hampstead, looking over his own garden and towards a neighbouring house.

A further comment to this wonderful painting, comes with a big thanks to 
Mr. L and Mr. X

After a quick dip in the local green ponds, we needed some clean clothes. It was a perfect day, combining some of our favorite activities: 
swimming and washing.
