We hadn't been to Tamagawa together for a long time so that was our destination for a sunny late autumn day. Instead of going the usual way out of the station we turned the opposite way because I had noticed lots of trees there before and often wondered if there was a park. We found a nice little wooded ridge with manmade waterfalls and pools, which was absolutely ablaze with leaf colour in the low sunlight.
Lunch was at the small restaurant near the river which serves rather good fish and chips. I wish I knew where they got such chunky pieces of cod as it is never available in the shops I go to other than as tiny thin portions with bones (nearly all fish you buy here still has the bones in it). It was such a good helping that I couldn't quite finish it and was so stuffed that I didn't eat again for 7 hours. Carrying on to the riverside path with a crotchety Emily, she soon brightened up as we strolled along in the sun. It wasn't long before we were down to our T-shirts. Emily was happy just to play in the grass for an hour (though she later ended up with a bit of a rash. She must be slightly allergic to certain grasses, like me). She pretended a stand of tall grasses was a shop, then a house, and then wanted us to roll backwards with her.
