Trittiford Park visit


I haven't visited this park for years ......
We decided to go because Hungry Horse Supplies is now selling Swan and Duck food!
How it has changed ..... for the better I think.

Sitting on the first bench gives you this view of the pond, all the birds are along the water's edge.

Looking the the left the view continues.

I love the way the path winds around grassed areas as well as the shale area.


As we walked round the pond from the left side we looked back at the view ...... hard to believe we are in a large City!!!

We soon collected one of the swans and a few locals.  


I don't think GSF was very impressed!!


Just look at that lovely view ....


OOOH!  Look .... there's Grandad!

We walked back to the bench and had a bit to eat and drink then went walkabout to the right. 
This is the way I walked home from school every day, not just me but several of us schoolmates....
The view here hasn't changed much over the years. 
The small wire fence was installed to stop the row boats from coming through to the islands.  Yes, row boats, Park Keepers' Hut, Putting Green all gone now, down to costs I suppose.
There was always a swan's nest out there along with coots and moorhens.
We fed a few more ducks that were in the pond this end, they willingly came up onto the bank for some of the food.

All too soon it was time for tea so we visited the local carvery where some of us just couldn't wait!

Among all the turkey and veg GSF enjoyed a large helping of Mac'n'Cheese followed by ice cream ..... perfect ending to a great day.
