Rain Stopped Play

Made a visit to Hazlehead Park today. Rain had certainly stopped play in the area of the children's playground. Consequently it was safe to approach with a camera in hand.

Though it was not actually raining at the time, it was damp enough to become quite wet after prolonged exposure tot he atmosphere.

I adjourned to the cafeteria which was refurbished and reopened in the summer. The cafe has been closed for as long as I can remember. It has been quite tastefully decorated and furnished. This is only the second time I have been there, on the last occasion it was summer and people were sitting outside. At the time I wondered how it would survive in the winter.

I hope the cafe survives, and based on my visit this afternoon it should do so. It was quite busy. Today a mixture mostly of pensioners and mums. Only downside they do not have fruit tarts, though there is a reasonable selection of cakes. I resisted temptation and limited myself to cappuccino.

The was a light drizzle as I walked back to the car, it is not very far to the car park, but it would be far enough to get very wet if it had been raining.
