Ham Photos is a growing archive of photos of Ham (at the meeting of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames in south-west London), where I have lived since 1996. It captures the small changes that are easily missed and delights in the unusual, the unexpected and the unnoticed.

Pond at Petersham Lodge
Petersham Lodge is one of the best houses locally and is blessed with one of the very best gardens. It has wild bits, formal bits, flowery bits, vegetably bits, hedgey bits and lawny bits but pride of place goes to the large pond that sits gently between the end wall and the large lawn.
Taking one of the many paths through the wild parts either side of the pond takes you to a Romanesque folly where you can sit and look back towards the house. And with a view like that it is something that you would want to do quite often.
