All the fun of the...


All the fun of the fair.... 

... bandstand music...


... cricket...

Standing in one spot beside Sir Titus's statue in Roberts Park, I could see all three at once! Yes, it was the first weekend of Saltaire Festival, so there was even more going on than usual. 


It was a nicer day than it looks, quite warm and pleasantly sunny at intervals. The grey heron, resident at the weir by the New Mill, looked a bit grumpy though, I thought. Perhaps there were too many people around his favoured habitat, or perhaps the river water level was a bit too low for his liking. Either way, he had turned his back on all the fun of the Festival.

  1. A great vantage point for both you and Sir Titus. Far from being grumpy that Heron is probably digesting a fish dinner, the size of which we wouldn't even contemplate - and it's likely downed it in a single gulp. Well, you wouldn't feel like a turn on the roundabout or bowling a few overs after that, would you?

  2. I'd also like to sit on the green listening to a band play under the bandstand!

  3. The heron does look a little sad.
