IKEA - from a distance

I was expecting a few parcels today so I had to wait in until they arrived.  I am doing rather a lot of online shopping during lockdown.  Today the parcels contained a couple of plants, a solar wind chime light, my prescription from the doctors and some chocolates. They all came early enough for me to go out for a walk.

I went down to the village - I was looking for a wide colourful shot for Wide Wednesday.  I assumed the Church Green would be full of colourful flowers but I was disappointed.  Nothing in bloom apart from a few white roses.  So I decided to forget the challenge and just go for a wander.  Ended up behind the shops where you get a lovely view down to The Metrocentre and across the River Tyne.  I decided that the colourful façades of Ikea, The Range and Sports Direct might do for the challenge.  Thanks to Freyjad for hosting.

This Ikea has been in the news as it opened to customers on Monday after being closed since March and there were huge queues. And I mean huge.  Folk waiting in line for hours.  To get into Ikea.  Bonkers.

It rained a bit while I was out but nothing much.  Didn't need to put my brolly up.  But this evening the rain has been heavier.  My garden is getting a good watering.
