Today we took a walk down to the beautiful Dulwich College to the farmers market.
On the way there we went through Dulwich Park and enjoyed the lovely flowers still blooming, lots of white & pink blossoms in the trees.

Dulwich College Main Building
I wasn't that fussed about the farmers market to be honest, I just wanted an excuse to be able to walk around the college which is made up of these absolutely gorgeous buildings with amazing ornate finishings and details. In the above pic, each window archway for example has a stone carved head, probably of a former head master. The buildings were lovely.
Dulwich College is set on quite large grounds firmly butting up against Dulwich Wood, and Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Course - check it out on the map here. It is a boarding school for boys from age 7 - 18.
It has large sports grounds which gives it a really sense of grandeur and of being in the country.
This is the cricket pitch and club house at the college.
They have a small farmers market at the school (we aren't sure of the frequency - probably monthly). Not too much there, but some nice breads, olives and meats.
Stalls under the school clock tower.
Sun shining on the college and the market.
Looked like a little chapel with a wedding going on.
On the way home we ducked back through Dulwich Park and found a section where there are 4 ping pong tables available to be used. They are made of concrete with steel nets, very sturdy.
We'll be looking to get some ping pong paddles & balls now for a bit of a friendly game (any challengers?).
And a spring walk wouldn't be complete with some pics of lovely flowers in the park - so here are my 2 choice ones.
