Colours of Day

Grey

Monday was grey, but dry. We headed over to Worcester for a walk by the river, before browsing around the shops.  In a rash moment, we decided not to use our usual car park, but to travel further into the city and park near the river.  However that car park was full, and so was the next and the next... We finally ended up on the roof of the multistorey opposite the cathedral.

We then walked the circular route past Diglis Hotel, over the footbridge and back up the other side, before heading into town for lunch.







Even the normally vibrant autumn foliage, seemed subdued and understated.









The Cathedral reflected darkly from the dismal depths of the Severn.

My purchases were a t-shirt - which hopefully will be suitable for wearing when bellringing, a pair of gloves and a small present each for the oldest two grandchildren - but I cannot tell you what, in case Father Christmas reads this blog, and accidentally lets slip...

On the way home, we attempted to visit two B & M stores in Worcester, in search of an elusive item.  We appeared to have to pay for parking at the one in St Martin's Quarter, so that did not get our custom. We then crossed town to for an unsuccessful visit to the store near St Peter's, which was a Home Base in a previous life.  I last visited this building back in 2000, in search of louvre doors for built-in wardrobe my husband was constructing...  After car parks and B & M Store visits, my chauffeur is now even better acquainted with the geography of our county town!

Tuesday was also grey, but then we into school, to do the last session after school club with Keystage Two and the final instalment of the story of Jonah.  The children's crafts were certainly not grey, as they made 'worms' out of pipe cleaners and beads from Flying Tiger - I knew they would come in useful someday ;) Have a bonus point if you know where the worm comes into the story WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP!





















There was more colour later in the day from Hershey's Kisses, courtesy of a globe-trotting son, who made a flying visit as part of his travels during Thanksgiving Week. We loved the Christmassy colours, and the snowdrop snowflake patterned ones were everyone's favourite, as they were mint fondant.









This time next week the KHT will be dropping hints about Christmas trees!  I am so not ready for Christmas, but then I never am :/  Perhaps THIS will be the year of the gift tokens - think of all the wrapping paper I would save!
