There is a wonderful park. It was originally a Victorian park and has been renovated to some of its former glory in the past few years. It's piratically at the end of my street, just turn the corner and cross the road and you're there - I always wanted to live near a park or open space.
Ma and I went for a wander today after lunch. It hasn't been the warmest of days but it was nice to get out and see so much lush green-ness. Here are a few pics!
There's a fab band stand and it looks like there will be plenty of concerts in June onwards so I shall have to take a blanket and book with me and sit out and enjoy - weather permitting!
Ma doing the tourist thing... hehe tennis courts, an excellent play area for kids (I was quite jealous of the tyre zip thing), bowls club, a lovely café with lovely homemade cakes (one to try another time)...
A lake complete with barnacle geese (and babies) and...
Mama swan keeping her eggs warm...
When the sun came out it was glorious.
And I love this time of year with the blossom on the trees.
Just wish the weather would improve - especially temperature-wise, the heating has been on a lot in the evenings!
Anyway, I had a big cleaning session this morning - very domestic goddess, and now that I've had my tea (a more healthy choice over last night's yummy fish and chips) I'm putting a DVD on and getting down to trying to reacquaint myself with my stash. :o)
Looks lovely Nat. I am sure the girls will be most impressed. Especially with the zip wire.
