We went into Stratford at lunchtime and had to park in Old Town as we realised that our parking permit had run out and we could no longer park at the Recreation Ground. Grr.... they have stopped doing the permits now and the reason for doing so is a complete nonsense. that's a local political issue which I won't bore you with.

After parking we walked down to the river and across the footbridge and continued along the far bank back into town. A slight wander round before opting to go into Starbucks, somewhere we never frequent but opted to do so for a change. A nice flat white for me whilst Jayne had hot chocolate with oat milk, no cakes as we've given all that sort of stuff up for Lent.

A bit tired looking inside, bordering on shabby, but there again last month we were in Cafe Nero and that was also a bit rundown. Is this a legacy of Covid in some way?

Back home afterwards via Waitrose where although I'm currently off work with the knee I got waylaid by one of the senior drivers regarding changes to the Highway Code, was I aware of the changes? Oh yes I was actually and hope that I still remember them when I eventually get back to work.

Th photograph was taken by the Tramway Bridge and I got the impression that she regularly feeds the pigeons as they were flying around her as soon as she approached where she sat down.
