A walk in the park
Up early with Lorraine, who had to drive off early to work. As it was such a lovely morning, I broke with routine, and took myself for a breakfast cup of coffee in a nearby cafe, and a read of another book of the amazing Paradise Lost.
Then I took a stroll around the park too, fresh in the early autumn sunshine and was back home for 9:30am to start to phone Estate agents, and chase the roofing man who promised to come and never did. Then waited for a briefing from the Germans (which did not arrive till 5 pm) and so read more of Paradise Lost.
In the afternoon I went to look at a property, and returned home through the park dodging the small but burly, shirtless traveller children running about three or four caravans that have settled in the park. Strange to see people suddenly living in the park, one young mum slinging a bowlful of washing up water onto the grass out of her caravan door. Amazingly clean caravans and cars.
Spoke to Janet who had been in hospital all day having tests on her lump, but apparently they were generally reassuring.
Cooked for Lorraine, after watching a documentary about Philip Larkin on YouTube, and then headed for the gold sofa once she was home. Poor thing had to drive 120 miles today.
Below snaps in Preston Park, including two in the walled garden, a strange flower growing there, and the nearby church.
