Waking early gave Kangaeroo a slice of luck this morning, enabling a visit to Yakushiike Park in Machida before the jobsworths arrived there and booted him out for bringing his bike.
The park is a delight, unbelievably located in the Tokyo suburbs.
It has some spectacular wisteria growing on trellises, with a huge pond (the ike of Yakushiike) surrounded by a picturesque garden currently flourishing with bright new leaves.
The wisteria are yet to reach full bloom, so there may be another visit before we’re finished this year.
