Very pleasant day, the weather turned pretty horrid but it didn't spoil anything. I went with Anya and Isobel to the swimming pool for Isobel's lesson, she is doing very well, really gaining in confidence. Here she is before we went in, a bit seven year old now!

Autumn has been a bit disappointing in Scarborough and no one had told me just how wonderful it has been around Peterborough. Driving round the parkways with Anya, even on a dull miserable day the colours were glorious, it compared well to the time I went to the USA in the fall. Sadly no real photo opportunities as we were on the move, but truly delightful. Anya took me to Margherita's where we had a good sisterly chat and an enjoyable game of Scrabble which she won. I caught the bus back into town and took a picture from the bus stop, not as spectacular as the parkways, but pretty attractive.

Didn't have to wait too long for a bus, the weather had turned really wet by then. As we came into town there were police everywhere, there had been a football match, but I have never seen quite so many police and police vehicles dotted around! There were rides on Bridge Street which brightened a dull day up!

My friend Angie picked me up in town and we had a nice meal and watched Strictly together. All in all a good day.
