Golden Memories

I was in Sunderland for the funeral service of uncle Ronnie, and it was great to see the family and visit old haunts.

It's been 42 years since I was in Barnes Park so I was glad Juli took me back on the way to pick Susan up from work at the hospital (she works on the ward where I was born).

I was particularly impressed with the way they turned trees upside down, carved faces and painted them ...

I loved these seats...

And this water feature...featuring Hollie...

These reminded me a little of the steps of an Inca Temple...currently used for people to run up and down to get into shape...Juli and Hollie declined.

Me, my sisters, one of my brothers and two Aunties at the get together...

Mowbray Park...The place I used to go for lunch when I first started work...a tramp sat next to me and helped himself to my sandwiches on my very first day. I also used to catch tadpoles in this pond...

This is what's in the glass building (Winter Gardens)...

Emmaleigh and Aimee were singing to the Lady Mayoress with their school friends (in the same park)...

Do you still think Annabelle and Hollie are cute:)

Spent some time at sunset with Juli at Vane Tempest Beach (six minute drive)...

Met a Leeds lass, fishing...

A golden memory to go with the rest over the past few days.
