A Day of Culture
Yesterday was absolutely fantastic! Shortly after blogging about my drunken antics the day before, I picked up the better half, her brother and his son, who has just turned one, so he’s amazingly cute and has women’s hearts melting for miles around. We headed to the Botanic Gardens in Southport and let the little tinker practice his walking skills whilst we all had a nice picnic. As you can see from the pictures, it was an absolutely gorgeous day so we treated him to an ice cream, most of which ended up on us three!
After a few hours walking around the gardens, messing about in the playground and filling our faces we decided to go meet up with some friends of mine at one of their houses. The plan of action for the afternoon was to go to the jazz festival in the town centre and pass the afternoon away why the kids chase every pigeon in sight. If you look at the pictures you can see just how busy (and pigeon free) the square was after a few hours. This is definitely something I intend on doing again over the summer, I didn’t realise these arts events where so popular, but that’s because I’ve been raised with all the culture of a modern day box house and it’s something I want to change through going to more local ’shows’ and travelling off the beaten track when the opportunity presents itself.
As with most events I seem to attend, alcohol was present, in this case it was “The Pimms Stand”, which proved rather popular definitely helped us to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, good music and good company.
This was definitely a day to remember and I hope we get plenty more this summer. The full photo set is on my Flickr Account as usual.
