Church Hill, Richmond



So finally the view that brings the pastural Thames to our new Richmond at Church Hill. In brisk sunshine we raced across Libby Park, clambered up the steepest slope, and built a fairy tipi in the neighbouring Chimborazo Park - the site of the largest Civil War hospital that treated 76,000 confederate troops with a 20% mortality rate i.e. 152, 000 died!!!

Sustenance in the form of wholesome burgers from the Hill Cafe, previously frequented by Daniel Day-Lewis... 

J found an amazing sidewalk nativity.

NB: Civil War 1861-65
