Spent the morning doing some household chores and Darren went to the gym. Then we went and had breakfast at Sainsbury's and did some shopping. I bought two dvds at the boot sale yesterday, Carousel and Oklahoma. I sat and watched Oklahoma this afternoon. Not a great story, but some good songs and scenery, the male lead was pretty dishy too! I am not sure if my 'kill or cure' approach is working, thought I would take my sketch stuff and have a walk round the park this afternoon, I made it to the park!! Climbed up some steps fairly near the entrance so saw the lake from a different angle.
Almost up on the same level as the pagoda, no water on the waterfall today.
I was sitting in this shelter, no actual seats but a stone ledge. 
I walked up the path to exit on Peasholm Drive, this view looking back.
Then bluebells at the top of the hill, which I cannot see when I take the usual route into the park.
This was my sketch, it was blowing a gale and I didn't take the pen with me that I had intended to use!
Tina arrived home this afternoon, refreshed and feeling a lot better, although she has still got a nasty cough. We are planning to go and have a look at the sea later.

  1. A busy morning for you, but at least you got out, and fought your way up those steps! Well worth it though as the views are completely different to normal. May add doing that to my list. Great set of pictures, and I really like the sketch, even though you forgot the pen :-)
    A nice trip to see the sea this evening will top it off nicely.

  2. Have read your comment but it is saying there aren't any! Do add it to the list, does look very different, we don't even have to do the steps, can go in the way I cam out!!

  3. That's odd, it shows up as two replies this end now.
    I'll add it the list now while I think of it :-)
