Grumpy Old Man

By Maurice1948

Flower's, planter's and bus's

A damp start, but it got better and after a morning of indoor stuff I decided to take a wander down town after lunch. 
 
I wanted to see the refurbished Gibraltar Street, the pedestrian access between the town centre and the Tesco car park, my Blip today. A while ago it was repaved and now there are two large planters which are going to be looked after by a local charity, and in between is one of those cast metal maps of the town - see my first extra. I hate to think how much this cost, but it's unbelievable to see that there are at least two spelling mistakes, one of which is my second extra! Maybe more of a grammatical error. You'd think that it would have been checked and double-checked before going to the manufacturer!  Someone's going to have a red face for a very long time!
 
A long chat with a friend, then the usual haul back up to the house.
