My first visit to Chelmsford town centre since the the new shopping area  opened a few months ago. I took some photos (extra) but decided that today's pic has to be the young lad  waiting for his balloon sculpture from the giant pirate. His agitated patience was a joy to watch as  was his fascination with the balloon twisting skill of the Capn'.  

Third day in a row of early April warm sunshine, everywhere is sprinkled with bright yellow dandelions signifying cheerful days to come.
