Another storm is rolling in as I write...but today started with a beautiful sky
The second parcel that I was waiting for arrived just after 1...and of course as I stepped out of the house on the way to the bus stop it started raining!
It stopped as the bus arrived in town, thankfully, but my coat was rather wet..and still was when I arrived home just before 4!! Only the outer layer thankfully.
With the rain gone, parcel posted, fresh food shopping done, I could pause and appreciate...
Then over the bridge and turn off Sandgate street on the high street.
A high street with many boarded up shops and sad buildings.
I must come back one early morning in the summer to get better pictures of the town, "warts and all"
But here is the Grain Exchange..one renovated building with the ground floor used for exhibitions and small fairs
But the block just before it also needs attention.
There is hope that Newmarket Street which runs across from the Sandgate to High street will have its old buildings restored to their former glory..you can see where it meets the High street by The Wool Sak.
Presents for grandies bought, I just caught the bus home in time !
Arriving to a phone call to say that the other executors to Pirate's will have okayed the payment of his Celebration expenses..too late to go back into town..and to save time I'll return to town tomorrow and get the cheque straight in my bank account! Better than waiting for it to arrive in the post.
I arrived home in enough daylight..with the help of streetlights at the end..to prune some of the bushes in the front garden where the birds have eaten all the berries. "Green waste" 4 weekly collection tomorrow with the weekly recycling....I'll put them out by the kerb if the wind isn't too strong!.
