We thought we would go down to Poole Park for a quiet stroll round the lake;
but we hadn't counted on the charity type marathon running whose dozens of competitors set off from the bouncy castle area seen on the left of the picture, to thunderous announcements from a very effective loudspeaker, and who passed by our park seat where we were having a couple of minutes quiet contemplation of the lake!
Flowers always add a nice touch to the blog, but who would have thought the best selection nearby was this border of dandelions.
You have to give credit to the local gardening department for a cost saving innovation! I am sure Ruth B. will enjoy them as her favourite so far has been the daisies at Longham.
We also had to find time to visit the small garden party in the garden of a private house near to where we live. The charity was in aid of childen of Chernobyl, some of whom come over each year for a month of respite from the conditions in which they live. Here are the children who came last year.
And this is where we went.
Guess the name of the lady in the red coat who is a genius for finding something to buy on a Sunday morning when there's nothing to do!
I must admit to to buying oddments to add to the basket.
Is this the sort of essential shopping you must do - unless it is on a morning when there's nothing to do?
We already had the sheep!
Below is a link to one of several websites about this charity.
