Little trees new home
This morning didn't start well, I needed to make a couple of phone calls re my change of address as they couldn't be done on line. The first one had me on hold for nearly half an hour and then a series of questions that I didn't know the answer to, very stressful, but eventually updated, the second one was quicker, but again questions I wasn't prepared for! Most changes done now I think.
I had a package that wouldn't fit in the post box so decided to walk to the post office, told Tina I would find the doctors' surgery and get registration forms for us, as it was near the cottage hospital which is a bit further on from the post office. I took a little walk into the park on the way and this shot has the church in the distance.
When I got to the post office I was told it was closed, not just for the day but for a few weeks! There is another one on an estate at the other end of the town, so, as the package wouldn't fit in the box there either it looked like I was stuck with it for now. I went up the road towards the cottage hospital and the only doctors' surgery in the town was at the entrance. It is a reduced hours hospital but does deal with minor injuries.
I got the registration forms and on the way out noticed this rather good idea, being used as well, by a bench just outside the grounds.
I walked up to the seafront, my knee is still being troublesome but I think I need to get a bit more walking done, may help, fingers crossed. Had a cup of tea and then a walk along the sea wall, very calm and clear today.
Nearly forgot to mention that as I walked t the front I saw a post box on the other side of the road that seemed to have a bigger slit. It did, and as I had already put the stamps on it did manage to get the package posted.
I took this picture in the memorial garden on my way home.
When I got home Darren helped me get the bonsai tree stand into a corner and I got the trees back onto it in their new position. It is a bit of a mess out there and I had been going to make a rockery in that corner, but I needed to get the trees back off the ground.
I pottered a bit with Tina this afternoon but haven't done a lot really. Feeling tired today so have sat in my rocking chair a good bit.
Seems odd looking at pics of things and scenes I don’t recognise. I’m so used to recognising the stuff you’ve taken around Scarborough. Does look like a nice seafront and for some reason I’ve always preferred beaches with the sea breaks. I think they add to the view. Or I’m just weird!
ReplyDeleteYou’re definitely finding your way around and sorting out what is where. Glad you’re doing a bit more walking, and if it’s helping the legs, then that’s all the better.
I really like the look of the bonsai corner. The patchy wall makes it look even better I think. Of course the oak stand they’re on also adds to the effect :-)
Definitely enhanced by the great oak stand!
ReplyDeleteI like the breakers as well, a very different beach but lovely in its own way. Apparently you have to wear shoes on the beach as it has little creatures which attack you!!
May take a walk in the other direction tomorrow, or if I get the form filled in take it along to the surgery.
