Two different ends of the shopping spectrum.

Change of tack (bored with shops for now, more to come later).
In the occasional bouts of sunshine, I'm lucky enough to live near a glorious park. I go to feed the ducks, swans and seagulls, watch the families at play and sit on a bench reading, safely covered in a film of sunscreen. It's green, watery, flowery and has a great playground. I haven't seen any squirrels yet, though. Shame. Probably too many dogs; I've never seen less than five at any time of day, and usually more. Of course this being Otley it has an unusual local name.

A placid scene.
Except you want to watch the swans. They can break a man's leg you know.

More solid metal playground equipment
For younger children than the park in Glasgow, and also not covered in grafitti. A weather appropriate item - there is a foot button to work a water pump, and the water is then channelled via a series of troughs and drops. Excellent open-minded thinking, especially if you can't use anything else in a wet playground that day.

There is a row of houses facing the river, with the formal gardens in front of them. I don't think they let you buy a house there unless you are an expert gardener, as the front of all the houses are immaculate. I suspect that neighbours would offer to "help" if you let it get a little... unkempt.
I love wisteria. Always makes me think of grapes. Turns out not everyone is enamoured of Le Tour. This was dumped off the bridge to lie on the riverbed. The lickle fishes seem to like it.

Another yellow bike, in situ this time.
Another courtyard and another shop. The hats are in the window; I can only assume they have a chiller out back with the hearts in.

Wow, it sure is.
That Ammo Box building is interesting. What is it near or part of? |

It's just its own little anomalous self. It looks like something sliced in half, but the lane it's on seems of an age with the buildings. The lintel looks older, so perhaps it was an outbuilding which the lane used to detour around? Of such quirks is Yorkshire made I guess

Reminded me of Emily's shop in Bagpuss.
