T stands for the animals on our walk.

 Hi everyone, we managed to get out to a park last week - we had been there a couple of times before but took a different path this time.

The park is Didsbury Park, not far away from one of our favourite bakeries - La Chouquette where we had called to buy croissants (and bought more than that!)

We walked in to the usual gate and just a short way along was another path out of the park. We went to investigate where it led.

There is an information board with a brief history.

Here is the new bridge with its's fabulous murals. 

We met a lady who told us that there haven't been many poppies this year but usually it is like a sea of red by the path!

No explanation for these but they do look Japanese so maybe the garden has been neglected around them.

A spy hole to watch trams through - I just missed one!

Back in the park

We followed the path that led by the children's play area.

In a little gap in the hedge was this....

Hmmph! At least hubby got a laugh out of my reaction! We moved on....

...the next few were much better

In some of the gaps there were little paths for children to follow.

We have still to visit this cafe - the only seats were in full sun and we were quite hot enough!

The children play area looks interesting!

Another animal...

...and more here..

The gardens aren't so extensive but still enough blooming to make me happy!

One of my favourite areas - the wild flower patch

Almost back to the gate..

I think I have shown you this in a previous post.

It was an easy walk on the flat, so perfect for a warm day!

My 'T Stands for Tuesday' photo is an older one. I keep forgetting to take new ones! 

This was from our Yorkshire trip. On a visit to Mount Grace Priory we visited the cafe in the woods. I know my piece of rhubarb and oat slice looks big but it is a third of hubby's cake!

We both needed something refreshing - I had carton of juice and hubby had Ginger Beer.

I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth at The Altered Book Lover blog for a weekly look at drink related posts.

Finally, while in the park we passed this sign...

Sadly we see lots of these black bags around - surely if you pick up your dogs poo you should place it in a bin(or take it home) - there were plenty around this park and they also provide bags!

Thanks for looking, Chris
