1) We're too cream-crackered to go to the Red Marley hillclimb today so we have a lie-in and a leisurely morning and then decide to walk into town, a mere 3.5 mile round trip, just in case we haven't done enough walking this weekend. We walk along the river into town, buy a few things, as you do, and then trudge back home along the main road. We take a seat in Gheluvelt Park and rest our weary feet. The plague and pestilence that the weather-scrotes forecast hasn't materialised and the sun has come out. The daffodils look splendid and it's great to see some colour in the landscape once again after our looooooong drab grey winter.
2) Gazing across the peaceful scene in a kind of stupor we eventually come back 'round and find the strength to carry on with the rest of the walk home. If anything, our pace has slowed even more than before. There's no rush tho', eh?
3) We're obviously more weary than we thought because our brains can't fathom what this latest Parks Project is all about. All we know is that the Council has been awarded a Lottery Grant and this resultant new area will replace the old outdoor swimming pool. We're sure it will look better with a water feature or two and some planted borders but, at the mo', it looks like a Health and Safety incident waiting to happen. More anon?
