Then I walked down to the florist on Cliff Road as I had noticed the other day, a really striking display.
The speaker at the meeting today was a blind Paralympic athlete who plays football. He now works for SightUK as an activity organiser. He was a very interesting and passionate speaker and had a lovely guide dog called Pudsy.
This afternoon Tina and I had a trip out, we went to Burton Constable and had lunch in the cafe there. It had been raining and was still spitting and cold so we didn’t have a walk in the grounds. The sheep field had grown a pond!
We did go through quite a lot of mini ponds on the roads as well. We drove to Sandshill garden centre and had a look round, a lovely display of artificial flowers.
Told Tina to smile for the camera and she really went for it!
Had to have a picture with the reindeer, it’s the law!
The skies had brightened so we stopped at Mappleton to see the sea. Rough and a bitterly cold wind so we didn’t hang about.
We stopped off at Freeport and did some shopping at the Poundstretcher.
So a nice trip out and a quiet evening in now.
The poppy display are nice. The one in the florists is brilliant. Poppies always make for nice pics whether they are real or artificial. So bright. I bet the speaker was really interesting. I can see and I can’t play football, so it amazes me how someone who is blind can do it! That takes a lot of dedication, and a lot of hard work too I would think.
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky to only see and drive through ponds as a lot of places up there have lakes and almost seas in the fields and on the roads!
The pic with Tina is nice. Great display and an even greater smile 😊 You should print that one. As for reindeer, Christmas humbug!
That’s a great pic of Mappleton. I like the last pic too, apart from the road markings. You need to get into photo editing so you can get rid of stuff like that. I think you’d enjoy it. You don’t have enough hobbies 😀
I love to see the poppy displays, as you say. Poppies are great for any sort of arrangements.
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky not to have had really flooded roads to drive through, lots of ponds and standing water everywhere though.
Artificial flowers are really pretty good these days and very colourful.
