Lucky day.

Today I left my bag in the toilets at Tesco it contained my wallet, camera, phone and change purse. The man in the photo handed it in to costumer services fully intact.
The face of a honest man thank you.
It all happened because I did something out of the norm. Before we went out this morning I put my knee supports on (my thighs have given me some stick lately) just to see if it made a difference. While walking round Rotherham one slipped down my leg to my ankle I hadn't put it on tight enough so I had to seek out some toilets to adjust things.
I made for Tesco supermarket but the toilets were closed for cleaning so I asked a supervisor to open the disable toilet if she would. This was my downfall there was no pegs to hang things on so I put my bag on a waste bin, dropped my slacks adjusted my knee straps used the toilet washed my hands and left. Walking down the first aisle I realized something was missing, my bag I almost died.
Straight back to to the toilet I went with very little hope. Then I heard my name come over the intercom someone had handed my bag in. Lucky me!!!!!

A months worth at one go.

I've been an idle blogger this past month so here are some photos of some of the things we have been up to. September is usually a good month for weather, it did not let us down.
I jumped at the chance when the farmer asked if I would like to sit in the cab of this
McCormick TTX 210 fantastic tractor.
Una leading the way, she doesn't mind this sort of country walking.

Drilling (sowing seed) next years barley crop.
The estate has four hundred beef cattle.
The Mill Dam Greasebrough, one of three dams.

Rotherham Show fairground attractions.

I /we don't have the stomach for these rides anymore but they are good to watch.

I think we could manage the bouncy castle at a push.

Part of Rotherhams new Council Buildings opened this year, this is where our Steven works.
The sunlight at this time of day just catches the building in a different way and it shows up gold.
It normally looks greenish and brown!!
Rotherhams new Football Stadium opened new for this years season. The old ground at Millmoor closed four years ago.
Sheffield City Hall, photo taken from Yates's.

A little bit of colour in our back yard.

Two views from Leeds Railway Station.
Leeds has lots of Arcades and undercover shopping much needed with our climate.

Homeward bound stress free travel and for us oldies it's free, but only in the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire.
