We made excellent time for our appointment yesterday and as we had over two hours to kill, decided to walk Maggie in the park by the hospital so that we could all stretch our legs, then she could settle down whilst we went into the cafe for something to eat.
There have been some changes and there is now a memorial garden for LINC, the Leukaemia and Intensive Chemotherapy Fund.
Obviously at this time of year the flowers have all gone over, but it was the carvings that caught our attention.
These magnificent benches were carved in huge tree trunks
and at the other end of the one of the left are these:
Further inside the park is a Human Clock, which I had to try out.
I’ve inverted the photo rather than stand on my head so you can see the two sets of numbers in pink and blue.
The idea is to stand on the month, and with the sun behind you, your shadow shows the time.
I stood on November and my shadow fell between the blue 12 and 1.
I looked at my watch and it was 12.40, so pretty damn close!

The benches are amazing.

Really beautiful. And such a wonderful idea.
š
Great pictures.
thank you
A pleasure Di! š„°
nature’s beauty at its best
lovely
Excellent photos š And I’m glad you all had time to stretch your legs.
I love to see art made with Nature in mind, and those benches are perfect. š
They’re wonderful.
That human clock is pretty cool! Darn accurate. The park itself looks very soothing and a nice tranquil place to wander around.
It has a fabulous playground for kids, and is well maintained as there was no litter around and everything was ‘tidy’ apart from the autumn leaves which were everywhere, but added to the beauty.
That’s really nice. I lso love the fact that you share all these places with the readers, it adds that personal touch. š
There are some beautiful things to see.
A beautiful place and marvellous carvings in the tree trunks.
They were lovely
