MOT and Another Walk

Hazel had to get the car mot'd today so we went early to the garage and left it with them. They reckoned it would be ready at 1pm so we walked home via the town and along the River Dane through the back estates which thankfully were very quiet except for patriots putting up bunting and union jacks etc. for VE Day ( which actually is today ). Street party going on outside as I write this. A right racket! Vera Lynne at 300 decibels! Anyway, I digress. In town we got a few bits as some shops were open. Then a pleasant walk past some scuptures we'd not seen before. Some dog walkers and joggers. Very quiet mostly I'm pleased to say. The viaduct carrying the Manchester to Chester railway looking very splendid with all the trees in full regalia. After lunch we walked back to the garage to collect the car which had two new front tyres and had been serviced and re-aligned ( whatever that entails?) Not cheap either! Then drove to Hazel's Mom's and Sister's to have a chat and exchange some food stuffs. A handy vege box from their milkman. Sat in the front garden and sokaed up some much needed sun before coming home to the noise and neighbours washing their cars and sunbathing in their front drives etc. All very strange.
