Salt's mill and Saltaire in the beautiful sparkling sunshine is where we went today. It was a last minute thing, and it was well worth the visit this day.
Walking up to the vast Salt's mill complex.....
Then cutting through to the Church and canal....on the way to lunch.
Ah. Lovely! Lunch. We had a Christmas sandwich followed by Chocolate eclairs if you really want to know.....we sat on this bench which stated "love that never ends"....
The church was locked, but that did not matter. We walked back past it and went to the river.
Past the canal....
Where Lee fed the birds with bits of lunch he saved.....
On the river Aire we spotted a heron.....
This made the day!
We are out of money yet again. So no junk shops today and no shopping . Which leaves not a lot to write about really.
"what do we know about heron's?" I asked Lee as we walked
"They eat goldfish. They ate all ours last year. And they are quite big. much bigger than you think..."
Not a lot then.
Yes! I know I was going to Kirkstall Abbey after going to see Father. This did not happen. As ever Father was as awkward as hell about it all . He did phone to say he was coming over just as we were going out to walk Monza. He had to come that time because Ronnie O'sullivan was playing snooker on the telly and he had to be back to watch it. Lee said we were going to call in on him in about half hour anyway.
"On no ah don't want that. Ah wants te go te supermarket. Ah needs te get some stuff. yer meet me at supermarket..." stated father. "meet me at bus stop outside..."
(this would be the same supermarket I work at. The one that I am on a day off from.)
Lee simply said another day might be better. How about Saturday?
So with that I decided not to go to Kirkstall at all........
