Re: Today in pictures
8) Plaque over a house in Chequers Must be where Thurston Smith lived......an engineer.
Thurston worked at the brick yard on Enfield Rd, he was a Model Engineer, his projects can be seen in Ossy Mills, they are in glass display cases, he also made a brick clay model of part of Clayton. Thurston also made a working model of a brick making machine, where that is now I don't know.

Re: Today in pictures
Yeah. I believe the owner works in another department somewhere in the building, I guess zeus started off following and started hanging around the benches relaxing on those sunny days......

Yes he is.
And when I first read that...I thought you meant that the dude was old looking .......the dude is my other half......the little girl is my daughters girl.
(no, I don't call her that G daughter thing because I have never been that G thing....I hat being called that G thing...and anyone who calls me that does it at their peril)

I was so pleased they have salvaged that mosaic, although does need a little bit of attention.

The mosaic is lovely Kate...very colourful. The grass hasn't quite grown over the bare bits of ground yet, but it is a lovely area.
If you want some padding for you BTM....I can let you have some of mine.
Though I'm not entirely sure how I would get it to you.
Second thoughts...do as Jen says Take a cushion- and an umbrella

Here's some pictures of this new garden area taken just now. Still looks pretty in the rain, and the rain doesn't half make the grass look an amazing colour of green :
