Messing about in Mowbray Park

#Wheeled Weapon,

Just seen you terrific photos of Sunderland Park. Superb as always! You had lovely weather up there compared to the rain and Thunder storm we experienced down south! The park is quite beautiful. I did chuckle at both the 'not suitable for wheelchairs sign and the triangle with rock fall, especially as it was left amongst trees and bushes. On the egg front, just read about ensuring eggs are toughly cooked before eating due to the possibility of Salmonella poisoning. Reminds me of Edwina Curry (I think in mid eighties) advising us not to eat them due to the number Salmonella Cases at the time! Good thing we have the Lyon Mark!

I was amazed at the statue surrounded by glass! Nice to protect the statue but possible dangerous with potential vandalism (or perhaps runaway vehicles) crashing into them , not sure what might be worse. Generally seems to be a sensible idea though to protect an ancient monument from decay, vandals or other sources of deterioration.

You definitely live in a beautiful part of the Country, not sure I would cope with the hills (walking with stick, slowly and requiring several rest stops!) but none the less would enjoy seeing it for myself but that is no reflexion on your superb photos, just shows me what I'm missing!

Grand looking Winter Garden building by a sizeable pond by the looks of it. Nice to see so much wildlife enjoying the water.

Thank you, I enjoy seeing your excellent photos!

#Santosha12, #Wheeled Weapon,

Just seen Santosha's comments! I had not considered the elves, trolls, pixies or fairy's living in the cave behind the door! Pity it actually houses rubbish bins etc.. Just out of curiosity, is the wall part of a previous building such as an Abby or Castle? Or is it part of a 'City' wall?

I forgot to say the other wheeled weapon is a bit lonely only one cannon or were there more? I visited Berwick upon Tweed (briefly), my friend lives that way and collects me from the station when I visit. (Most kind of her!) On my first visit we had a little time to walk along the area that had several cannons obviously to protect the area from invaders! So just struck me as unusual to have just one. Perhaps there are more but not visible in that particular photo.

Have a lovely day all! If you are on your travels Wheeled Weapon, have a good day! Hopefully, some more brilliant photos. I won't be taking photos, (not good enough!) but taking Granddaughter to railway station to meet her Dad, then off to a meeting, so nothing really exciting today. Certainly no where near as exciting as the places you manage to find. Good luck!
