Watching.

Met Cathy in Preston today, she wanted me to help her pick some new glasses.
We had such a lovely chat over toasted teacakes & coffee in Marks & Spencers we nearly forgot what the main purpose of our visit was...a rush to the car park afterwards!!!! No tickets thank goodness!!!!

Preson town centre was on high alert as there is a very big trial going on in the Law Courts..
A man is being tried who is accused of four murders & four attempted murders.
Two of the murders were two police lady constables who he allegedly lured to a hoax burglary & shot them point blank.
There were armed officers everywhere, outside & on roof tops.
Just noticed the collage has chopped off half the police but you get the drift!!!!

We are entertaining tonight so unfortunately will not have time for any comments! Will catch up tomorrow.

Three good things:
1. The house is all tidy with fire on & lamb in the oven plus wine out ready!
2. A lovely chat with my daughter this afternoon...a rare luxury these days a she is so busy!
3. Walked through M&S & never looked at any clothes!!!!

@snowy Thank you Diana. The NFU dance was cancelled as not enough going so our party coming here....it will be all farming talk!

[Diana Moss]

@happypat It sounds fun

[Fanny Brogden]

@happypat ha ha cheers!!

[Judith Johnson]

A sobering moment in history. Glad your day was memorable for other reasons.

[Cathy Donohoue]

That is high alert. What is wrong with people.
Your three things sounds so very nice. Have fun!

[Maggiemae]

Why so many police - that evil man is in custody! Perhaps they are worried about the public making a physical scene! Nice to hear about your enjoyable day and the ending!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Mmmm I wonder what they were worried about....sounds nasty in every way. Glad your day was happy, am sure you will have a wonderful evening too!

[Rick Schies]

Sounds a bit risky to be out there, goodness. Anyway, hope you found your glasses.

[Gillian]

Wow! Sounds like quite a day in Preston! Loved your 3rd good thing! Not easy walking thru M&S without looking at clothes!

[Judith Greenwood]

It's been all go in Preston with Suart Hall as well. That seems a sad state of affairs whatever's going on there. I was expecting to see the old Crown Court but I see there's a fancy new one.

[Barb Smith]

You must have felt quite safe with all those armed guards everywhere. Sounds like a lovely day with your daughter and now a fun night with friends. Good way to start the weekend.

[Barbara Paquette]

Good lens to catch that from the car park--no , never been there, but google maps is so much fun!

[Smitha]

Nice captures!! Wonderfully put in a collage.

[Sean O'Neill]

Great shots Pat. The killer of those two innocent policewomen deserves the same treatment in my view! I appreciate that not all will agree.

[Sue Wilde]

Great shots. They represent your day

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill They should have a 'like' button'' on here!!

[Peggy Sirk]

Sounds, and looks, like serious business taking place in Preston. I hope that justice is served. And it sounds like you had a lovely day and evening, Pat!
