Fit Friday

Sports day today-no pictures-I was too busy running up and down with small children! The downside to the modern world and all its gadgetry is that I will appear huffing and puffing on numerous phone shot videos forever! Or at least until it all breaks which I suppose it will one day. It is also fit Friday as it is the third day in a row that I have cycled to work! I feel so virtuous and I really enjoyed it too. I still have not got the car back but whenever it returns I am still going to try to cycle to work at least till the end of term. The weather has made it a real pleasure but I don't mind cycling in the rain either. I will see. Most of my fads last about three weeks. If I get through the three week barrier I might buy myself some new cycling shorts as the ones I have got are old and worn out.

Here are a few sights from the way home today.

A poor old abandoned building with a poor old abandoned for sale sign. The buddleia has found a happy home though. I love the way buddleia grows anywhere. Any crack in the pavement, side of a building or neglected roof. I planted one in the nursery garden but it did not survive. I was astounded! One has taken root in my garden and I am really pleased.

This is a little nursery which has been there for years and always looks lovely. It is on a busy corner, traffic wise, and really brightens things up. This view is a little limited but I took it because I like their broom display. I need a new broom but did not want to carry it on the bike!

This beautiful tiled sign is on Herbert Road. The shop is now a Barbers and before that was a really good second hand clothes shop. I wonder how many other lives it has had in between being a Grocers and Provision Merchants and now?

Have a lovely weekend!
