Yesterday in the Park.

It was necessary to make myself scarce again yesterday afternoon.  The DIY I mentioned last weekend involving our kitchen ceiling was being continued this weekend.  My son in law had been roped in to help so my daughter, Victoria, and I took the boys to the park.

It was another cold day.  Victoria and I got a hot takeaway coffee to sip in the park while the boys ran around.  They were happy with orange juice and happier still when they tucked into a bag of sweets on the way back to the car.

Victoria.  Behind the smile was pain.  She and her sister had run round the lake together yesterday morning.  Victoria's not used to running and was already beginning to feel the pain in her leg muscles.  Standing still in the cold of the afternoon wasn't helping her any.  However before too long it was back to the car and home.

Just as we were leaving the park a group of drummers turned up.  Probably local people judging by the way they were dressed.  Hebden Bridge is a bit of a hippy type person enclave.  Anyway, locals or not, they sounded good.  I really, really like the sound of drums being beaten with gusto.

Nothing to report on for today but I'm hoping for a day out somewhere in the great outdoors next Sunday.   I'll have to refer to my little Pocket Pub Walks book and see what I can come up with.

Your park looks delightful, and it sounds like you had a good time. I love viewing pictures, it is like a mini trip for me. Thanks for stopping by today.
