Thursday, not the Arboretum, just more photographs from Wednesday... 

I got the tram and passed through the city and got off near Dunelm store.. just had a wander around then walked to B&M, got a few bits from there.. It was the biggest B&M store I've ever seen! I couldn't walk around it! Especially knowing I still have to walk back to town!

The footstool in Dunelm, I have to show you! The lid lifts up, not a box, or storage.. No... I is a single bed! Absolutely brilliant! 

I walked down to the canal and back into town from there.. 

Took a great shot of the apartments but can't post here yet, waiting to see if it gets picked up on a site I sell photography on, it'll never make me rich,.but one has sold four times!! When they're licensed on there I can't upload anywhere else.

Anyways! I got the tram home from town and not much else! 

Yesterday I went to the park and walked it's length, then walked right and up along the top through the trees, still overlooking the playing fields and carpark area..

I was watching a man skipping, and as I approached him, thought how us girls skipped so much when younger then stop! But now in the gym you see guys skipping! I have a skipping rope in a box, in storage! Used to go on the terrace and skip! Once the people in the town hall had all gone home!! 

So I get alongside this man and he stops and says 'you want a go?' and I do! I took his rope and skipped! Just for a few minutes! Hilarious eh! So funny, but also such good fun! He wasn't a young guy, probably about the same age as me, you know, 50's! I say laughing!

Afterwards I thanked him, turned my music back on and continued my walk! Feeling very happy for having skipped!

When I was back I tidied up an area some workmen next door had messed up in my son's front yard! 

Unearthing worms and centipedes, and a few different sorts of spiders! Quite a collection of wildlife going on there unseen!!
