Mamma had to go for a book event so Diya and I decided to go for a nice father daughter pizza date. And after that, I decided to take the girls on a train ride at the Ruislip Lido. Here is the story of that little trip around the lake first and the next essay will be for the train ride itself.
First popped over to the train station..
It was the usual British weather, splattering with rain
Good to know
The ticket office
The train drivers and helpers were kids, really grown up kids, lol, they were all retired railway and hobbist rail people and they were happy as larry. So we had about 20 minutes to kill till the next ride..So we decided to go take a look at the lake. 
There is the lake
This track goes around the entire lake. Perhaps one day I will bring Diya and we will bike around it. 
Talking about the little devil, here she is..
Is a raven supposed to be good news or bad? 
Bit gloomy, eh? 
The lakeshore was not well maintained
Trees over the lake
The lakeside lawns were well maintained, mind you. 
I hope this isnt the bloody beach. 
A pea hen
The place was infested with swans. This one is sitting on its nest
The water was crystal clear…
I didnt know swans ate land grass, for some reason I always thought they went for insects and water vegetation, but d’oh, of course they can eat grass. 
A duck coming into land
The greedy beggars noticed us
Preening or having its head hidden? 
See what I mean? the beaks were covered with grass
Waddling towards us
Hello Baba…
Then some views of the swans in flight
Flight Swan coming into land.
Then this series of a very upset swan…
hump, you can see the last photo showing how upset and huffy the swan is and its walking up the beach with a huffy stride.
Some videos as well..
