After drinking our coffee and pottering about for a while, we decided to go out for another walk. Although I enjoyed the walk and took some photos, I was not particularly inspired by these to write a detailed post.

We walked around the Liverpool Road and Angel Central area and saw that most shops were now open and that everywhere was crowded: there were queues at many of the more popular shops where security personnel were regulating entry.

After months of lockdown and the relatively quiet streets that this induced, I found the noise and bustle unpleasant, especially as many people have thrown caution to the winds and were not making any attempt to practise social distancing.

Via St John Street we made our way up Chadwell Street into Myddelton Square. In the peace of the lovely square I felt a lot better. When Tigger suggested cutting across the Garden, I was happy to concur. This is where I took the one photograph of the outing that I like. It features a pigeon (no surprises there, then 🙂 ).

Pigeon taking a drink

The old drinking fountain in the gardens has a lower receptacle where water had collected, probably from rain. A pigeon was taking a drink from it, and we were careful not to disturb him.
