Day 12 is a Sunday and it’s early evening, approximately 6pm. We do sometimes come to the park at this time, especially on hot days, as it feels relaxed and quiet. Today is just the same, there are no students or groups sitting round the benches. There are a couple of families with young children doing what we are doing. There is even a family on the tennis court! That is twice now I have seen that. There is a couple on the bench (middle aged), sitting quite separate so not the same household but obviously close. They have cycled there and have bought plastic wine glasses and are enjoy the odd one. Is this an illicit meeting you wonder, have they told the other halves they are just going for a bike ride but really they are meeting someone they have connected with via Tinder?
Chloe is riding round on her scooter and finding dogs. There is Monty from yesterday and a pug dog too. The owners have little chance of escape as she will just follow them round the park chatting and playing with the dog. Luckily pretty much everyone enjoys it and will play along.
This area is starting to move towards the middle of the park again and away from the wall. There is: 4 trees, 2 blackbirds (male and female), 1 pigeon, 1 tampon, 20 pieces of litter (including cigarette ends), 3 feathers, 1 buttercup, lots of daisies and grass, path, 2 dog walkers, 4 dogs (including 2 that ran in without their owners).
I like this time as it feels so relaxed and we are starting to see some regulars too.
