The other day I was stuck for things to do, I had a whole afternoon free and the sun was out in full swing. Thinking back about it I really should have worn shorts, as I clocked the temperature at around 30 degrees. What a wally, well fews a few snaps from the park I visited which is literally 5 minutes away from where I live;
Nice start to the day, right next to the gates.
Unmissable apparently, the sign is better than the village, sadly.
The boating lake, perfect day for it.
Cheeky dude, shame I didn't take any bread to give him a snack.
Steps to the bandstand dating back to the 1920s.
I had a sit down in the woods for a bit, no need to rush around on such a nice day. My whole outfit was made up from different shades of blue. I was probably the least summery person in the park, as it was packed out.
I decided to snap the clock tower, witch does actually chime every hour. I can actually hear it go off from my house, that's how close I am. There's an entrance to the tower, every since I was a kid I always wondered what it was like inside. I'm still wondering.
I really don't take advantage of Stanley Park, it's the biggest park in my town and has some lovely architecture, cheeky looking animals and lots of areas where you can just whittle the days away. I'll be back soon no doubt.
Hope everyone has been enjoying the second wave of heat in the UK and everyone else is enjoying there's too.
lovely pictures :)

I've been to Stanley Park! I have friends in St Anne's and my bestie in uni lives in Freckleton - lovely place! I hope it's where I'm thinking of...
ReplyDeleteaaw sweet duckies
ReplyDeletefunny, because everything in North America is named after European places...we have a huge Stanley Park in Vancouver, such a familiar name, and one of my fave places. Would love to visit the original.

ReplyDeleteThese photos are so beautiful, I love the focus on certain objects, the one of the flowers and the one of the railings are absolutely fascinating to look at!

Such cute pictures! I love the little duck family :) just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered a cute park in Canterbury, and have decided I'm definitely gonna hang out there more in the summer with a good book to read.
I used to LOVE that model village! I like anything miniature.. especially those ducklings..
ReplyDeleteHehe, I love that saying, "wally". So cute! This British friend of mine says it all of the time, and makes me laugh. He's very much enjoying the heat, also. ;) Sounds like a lovely way to spend the day. That first image is gorgeous.
