It was definitely a dull and overcast day when I persuaded my husband into driving us to Abney Park. I'd had it in my head that I was going to go this day, and nothing in the weather was going to stop me. Thankfully I still had my friend's hiking boots and thermals (left over from an outward bounds visit to Wales) so I felt 'togged' up enough to face the elements. Unfortunately the visit was already marred by my poor directions taking us slap bang into about two feet of the congestion charging zone - which didn't make either of us very happy!
