Sunday Stroll

Another mad busy weekend in the P.P. household as our son returned from uni, complete with a lovely girlfriend, and our daughter snatching a precious weekend at home too. We spent Sunday afternoon in Chester, taking a stroll along the famous walls. This gives you a splendid view of Chester's delights from  above!

At weekends, the walls are used to display a variety of works of art .... all for sale.

It was so hot, that the river side was the best place to be, and all the river crafts .... pleasure cruisers, rowing boats and pedalos were full to bursting.

This Georgian house is one of my favourite properties in Chester.

But I love these half timbered buildings too.

We met the friendliest little cat ever, who was enjoying the sunshine, and actively seeking out people to stroke him!

You get a good view of the Roman remains from the walls.

As you get closer to the town centre, you can catch a glimpse of the lovely old clock high above the streets.

This must be the second most photographed clock in the country .... after Big Ben.

Normally we'd head down to the shops from here, but it was far too nice to waste time indoors, so we bought a picnic from Marks and Spencer's and sat in the grounds of the cathedral.

 I actually had to move my legs out of the sun because they felt like they were burning through my jeans ... when has that ever happened in March?

This sign amused us ... must remember this next time Mr. B. comes out shopping!!!!
