Having put away the shopping and had lunch, we went out again. The sun was now hidden by clouds and it felt unpleasantly cold. We would go for just a short walk because it was already past 2:30pm and Myddelton’s closes at 3pm on Sundays.

Cloudy sky

This picture shows the conditions, cloudy but dry so far.

Reservoir flowers

Tigger photographed these pretty flowers through the railings of the Claremont Square reservoir.

The Curvaceous Tree

Yes, it’s the Curvaceous Tree again but I have become very fond of it. If it were possible to have a tree as a friend, I would choose this tree.

Cat glimpsed

In Myddelton Square, we always look out for the two cats. We hadn’t seen them for a while though we knew that they still lived here. We both spotted one of the cats and I took this photo but…

…Tigger, with her better camera (in the iPhone 12), took this close-up.

Window box

We admired this window box with pretty flowers and variegated leaves.

Myddelton Square Garden

I took this photo over the railings of the garden in the square. There were some people sitting in the garden but very few, no doubt because of the cold.

Perched in the trees

I was amused to see that most of the garden’s pigeons were perched in the trees though I’m not sure it’s any warmer there than on the ground.

Open a day too soon

I have previously mentioned this barber’s shop (one of three in Amwell Street) because of the “to let” sign outside. I wondered whether it referred to the shop or the residential accommodation. That question answered today: not the shop. We were surprised to see the shop open and the barber inside, wearing his working overalls. They are not supposed to open until tomorrow so he’s jumping the gun.

Skyscape
Photo by Tigger

On the way home, I was carrying our coffee, and so Tigger took this skyscape photo. It looked as though it could rain so we were happy to hurry home.

Cake and cream

With our coffee, we had the remainder of the “Easter Cake” but with a little addition: cream! How luxurious!

That’s it for today but as Tigger is scheduled to work Wednesday to Friday this week, we have two more days added to the weekend. I just hope the weather improves a tad. That would make it perfect.
