1. The smell of Queen Anne's lace. It's not specially pleasant in itself, being heavy and nose tickly, but when you smell it, you know it's summer.
2. We crossed the Thames on a foot ferry run by a man with tiny arms. It cut about a mile off our journey home. It was a long open boat, loaded with parents, pushchairs, bikes, scooters and children.
3. As we walked through the park on the way back to the station, a little boy pulled down a low horse chestnut branch and looked carefully at the candle flower.
