September.

 Sweet pea and runner beans.
 Red Admiral Butterfly the first I have seen this year.
Waiting for the bus, going for a walk. Which ever bus comes we jump on, go the furthest it goes (before turning back on itself) we get off and walk home. This is Una's routine almost everyday so much so if she is not at the bus stop, the bus drivers wait for her (her own private taxi service).
She takes many different routes home, talks to countless people on the way.
One of the routes takes her through the old cemetery (Rawmarsh has three). This grave stone took my eye Army Cyclist Corps.    

On our way to Bridlington East Yorkshire.
 It's been a good dry month for the farmers harvest time and hay making.
 The seaside is not the same with out the kids.


 Slots.


Bridlington Harbour. This used to be full with fishing trawlers when I was a boy, it seems there is not plenty more fish in the sea (so much for that old saying).

Dewsbury West Yorkshire an old mill town but now in decline, it has a good open air market.
Dinner and a drink in Wetherspoons.

The English Defence League organised a rally through Rotherham in protest over the child abuse scandal that as been going on.


 One of my Sunflowers.

 Una and her cousin Martin at her Uncles funeral, this is the first time they have met.
 Journeys end now for the walk home usually about an hour, unless we get talking to someone (then it's anyone's guess) 
 My new flag South Yorkshire, Yorkshire first English second.
Dempseys Sheffield for our dinner today, when we got home and told our Stuart where we had our dinner he just laughed and said "Dempseys it's a Gay Bar didn't you know"
Food was OK and I was with Una so I was safe I think.


 The Moor Sheffield.


Peace Gardens Sheffield.
 Town Hall Sheffield.

Rotherham General Hospital got the results of my PSA blood test all is well.
The last day of September, turning the allotment over ready for winter. Nothing else to do until next year.

Things missed.

Things you look at but don't see. In the sixties this monument to the mining and steel industry stud in the centre of Rawmarsh. Then some years ago it was moved when the area was developed.
It now stands on the roundabout at the bottom of Barbers Avenue, I must have seen it before but it did not stick in my mind.
Looking down Barbers Avenue it can't be seen, it is masked by trees and plant life. I very rarely drive that way to Rotherham the traffic is chaos and never come home that way, so I can be excused for not noticing where it was.
This day we decided to walk to Rotherham, it was a nice day sun shining we were in no rush and no particular place to go, more or less just out for a stroll.
On foot this way to Rotherham is the shortest from our house, by car going via Greasbrough is the quickest route.
