Super day in Doncaster

Anya and ai had arranged to meet in Doncaster and have a day together, catching trains from our respective stations. I had to catch a bus into a hull first and at 7.30am the town was pretty quiet.

We decided to explore in the town before going into the Frenchgate shopping centre. We found the town very interesting, the first thing we noticed as we came out of the station was this bike.

Lots of different streets with shops and eating placing, we did a fair bit of walking and saw some interesting buildings.

Very novel!

Fabulous interior in that one.

And some interesting street art.

Even a decorated building!

There was a market on today although not a lot of stalls but there was a food hall next to it with several independent food stalls. We had an Indian lunch, sour dough naan wraps. I had chickpea masala and Anya had chicken tikka. They were very tasty, we would go there again and try a different menu.

It began to rain then just as we were heading under cover into the shopping centre, so good timing. We had a good wander round and liked the large decorated elephants.

A selfie by the first one!

We went by the Make your own bear shop. I fancied making one, silly I know but they had an offer on, make and and get a second for £8. I love my rabbit but the experience was very disappointing, as apart from picking which animal you actually didn’t do anything yourself! Anya got one for Isobel.

Anya offered to buy ‘Donny’ some clothes but I said I would make her a tee shirt!

We made our way back to the station and as our trains were leaving at the same time we said our goodbyes Ian’s made our way to different platforms.

When I arrived in Hull there was a raging storm going on, full thunder and lightening. By the time the bus was moving it had quietened. Spotted this building, looks like a house has been plonked on a shop!

Getting weary now, but in a good way!
