Rain stopped play


A scene fairly typical of the past few weeks: chilly, damp and with heavy cloud and misty rain. There were no children in Hirst Wood playground and no adults using the fitness equipment. All a bit of a wash-out! The blue telephone box is a little free library where you can borrow books and return them for nothing.

  1. A few hardy children using our recreation ground yesterday, while their parents stood around gossiping - never seen anyone on the fitness equipment apart from the occasional ambitious six-year-old. We seem to be having very different weather at the moment. Another sharp frost with early morning mist again today in the "balmy south".

  2. I do appreciate the little cages to help the trees catch hold and become strong enough that running kiddos won't knock them down easily. I imagine an alien life form landing and seeing that view and trying to figure out what kind of critters we must be. It must be a place of worship, or perhaps only the leaders (the smallest ones) are allowed to use this strange equipment, with which maybe their bodies will merge for some fertility rites. Right!

  3. Very green grass is what struck me at first.
