section 35 and we are almost there. I am at the boundary again and not on the tennis court today. It is about 11am and it is really warm today. I am in quite a secluded section of the park and no one comes into this section whilst I am here. I can see people walking through and I can see some dog walkers but I still feel quite separate. I like it if I’m honest. It is a beautiful day and it feels so calm. Again my lovely sister and my knitting group have Chloe so I am on my own. I love exploring the park and this is a beautiful, shaded section close to the QE college but not overrun with litter. There is a beautiful beech tree and shelter from the horse chestnut. I love the solitude in the park and I think others do too.
Today the section was quiet and uneventful. It felt like my own little park within a park as it is a quite separate corner whilst the college is closed. When open I expect I would be reporting something very different here.
today I saw: 1 tree, 14 pieces of litter, 4 feathers, 5 conker pods, 1 vial, lots of cigarette ends, wall, path, grass, daisies, mushrooms, tree roots, holly offshoot.
I found a small bottle on the ground and have to question what it was. Was it like the Salisbury poisonings and in this bottle was a Russian nerve agent. In Salisbury, Dawn Sturgess very sadly died from a found bottle of what turned out to be a nerve agent. What if that was here in Darlington? Should I pick it up, obviously not! Should I report it? TBH the chances are it’s a discarded bottle and the idea of calling the whole North East terrorist squad to the park for that is not a realistic plan either. It is a bottle, but you do wonder why it is there?!
