Past few days

Been out and about as usual, on Wednesday braved the traffic in Oldham to go to see about the "Tree for Life" scheme I mentioned in the last post, as is usually the case in Oldham at the moment the slip road I wanted to get to the Chadderton office for the scheme was closed for resurfacing!, still I got round the diversions and finally got there and in no time at all did the business with the nice ladies help there.

The outcome is, I chose a Silver Birch tree and the planting day will be in June, I'm glad about that as planting a tree in the present weather would be folly for the tree and myself as well, more on this later, nearer the time.

Whilst in Chadderton, being a nice sunny day, thought I might as well go to Chadderton Hall Park again for lunch as I enjoyed it so much last time.

Before lunch Pepe and I had a nice walk to work up an appetite, and here are some of the pix's from round the park

The flowers don't seem to mind the cold weather.

Plenty of wide open spaces.

This one looks a bit bruised and battered like Lara Croft in my Tomb Raider Xbox game!.

Then it was back to the cafe where we had Hot Pot and Red cabbage,

How good does that look, besides the set menu there is a day's special board inside and a Pensioners special as well!

Even that red bike was for sale at a very reasonable £60 I thought, not that I was interested!.

Then it was off home via Birch Services to see if there were any Eddie's there worth photographing.

And there is my best "Eddie" picture of the day, Morgan Patrica

I repeated the trip yesterday (Thursday) again, but left out the tree place, so straight to Chadderton Park but it was too cold to sit outside eating so had to put Pepe back in the car after a brisk walk, whilst I went inside, the meal was as good second time around as well.

The Birch Services was very busy and my best "Eddie" of the day was 

Mandy Jane

And if you think "Eddie's " are big what about this one!!.
