A busy day in the park


There was something for everyone in the park last Sunday. 

It must nearly be summer as the bandstand concerts have started. The wonderful Hot Aire Concert Band was playing. They are very polished and have a great repertoire of mostly lively and well-known music. I really enjoy listening to them (despite my less than good hearing) and their sound is loud enough to fill the bandstand and carry really well. 

The cricket season has started, so there was a match going on...


and the once-a-month farmer's market was lining the promenade. 

For children, the land train has started running, doing regular circuits of the park (though I didn't manage to get a photograph of that this time).  It's all happening in Saltaire! If only the weather would warm up a bit...

  1. Seeing the coat-clad audience, I wondered how the musician's fingers might have felt in the chill. And then my silly American brain heard you mention cricket, and I thought the sound of our little insects immediately, instead of the very English national pastime! That put me in my place!
