Gorgeous!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After I\u2019d finished my delivery shift, I wanted to visit Thorpe Park, Peterboro\u2019, which was nearby. I couldn\u2019t see how or here to park and get access. But I spotted a Sue Ryder Hospice, with signs for a shop, on the edge of the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I visited that. And I\u2019m very glad I did. I\u2019ve been wrestling the ol\u2019 black-eyed dog, just recently. And the hospice had a nice garden attached. I stopped in there for a while. And it was very restorative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospice buildings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There maintenance work going on; stone block paving is being restored, or renewed. So parts of the hospice grounds are like a building site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the gardens were fine. Indeed, where the snowdrops were, and the lovely old walls, there are some trees or. She\u2019s that are giving off a beautifully fragrant aroma. That and the birds chirruping away was lovely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I noted that there\u2019s a workshop in the grounds. I wonder if they make the benches on site? They all differ slightly, and have a slightly rustic rough n\u2019 ready vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the nicest. Or er if the garden section that I was in. The. Knob of gravel paths, beds of snowdrops, the old walls\/gate, and the trees and bushes, all added up to something very charming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view from the bench I sat on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I sat here for about\u2026 we\u2019ll, I\u2019ll be honest, I lost track of time. Might\u2019ve been 10-15 minutes. Could\u2019ve been a fair bit longer? Some of the time I just sat. Listening to birdsong. I also had Shelby Foote with me, and read some of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I bought a few books from the shop. Yep, they had a Sue Ryder charity shop on the site as well! I got one for Teresa (a Scrabble dictionary), one for dad\u2019s forthcoming birthday (74!), and one on Trafalgar, for me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
