From the bus shelter

A good day for a bike ride today so after lunch I took off round the block on my bike ending up in the village.
It is market day on a Wednesday, not a massive one as you can see although there are usually more stalls than this, perhaps some had gone home.
I sat on the bus shelter seat so I could get my bicycle in the photo.
Fish & chip restaurant, newsagent & butchers shop to my right out of sight.

Three good things:
1. My free tickets have arrived for the Country Living Christmas Fair in December.
2. A good sleep pattern at the moment!
3. Lovely autumn days.

A lovely sunny Autumn day Pat ! No not the usual bustling street market , never mind they are sure to pick up before CHRISTMAS !

[Bep]

Nice street scene. Lovely, but cold autumn day here.

[Brennie B]

its market day in our town as well today. seems to be getting smaller all the time.hope you enjoyed your bile ride . interesting photo. quiet but lots going on if you know what I mean

[Jennifer Jones]

Very energetic of you, Pat! But it's good there was a suitable seat for a rest and photo op.

[Joyce]

Market day here as well Pat. Trouble today as a party of travellers had taken up residence where the stalls usually go. You can imagine the scene! Suffice it to say the yravellers have moved on.

[Myrna O'Hara]

So nice you're having good weather!!!

[Pat Knowles]

@thistle Goodness Joyce that's a serious matter, you were lucky they moved on! There are bales of straw, large stones & all sorts in gateways here to ke them out!

[Hazel]

Like your pov which seems to draw the viewer into the shot. Good sleep is everything.

[Maggiemae]

Nice to see everything in this shot including your bicycle! When I started to read your description I thought it was going to say 'took off round the block ending - on my butt"! But glad to see it was just the village!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae By round the block I meant over the hill on the main road, down the little country lanes past my SIL house & round by Elswick & back through Great Eccleston. A sort of large square! Glad I wasn't on my butt!

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze Yes I am enjoying a spell of good sleep, feel better for it too! You never know why it alters to bad sleep, no rhyme or reason!

[Hazel]

@happypat

I usually know why mine becomes bad but making it good again is more difficult....

[Peter Dulis]

Very nice ...

[Judith Johnson]

I like the bike parked in the foreground, and just the everyday feel of the picture.

[Jen Hudson]

I like how you have the bike just in the front focus. It makes you focus on the square. Nice view of your local area.

Looks like a great day to go for a bike ride.. best make the most of it while you have some decent weather..

[Wendy]

Love getting out during these gorgeous fall days. So refreshing! Lord knows it won't last!

[Phil Howcroft]

nice to see a 'judith bike' slipping into your shot Pat

[Babs]

Looks like a great day for a bike ride. Lovely village scene.

[KWind]

Nice shot. I like how you included the bike in the image.

[Gillian]

Nice street scene.

[ShazzyM]

looks beautiful, great shot

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Any antic stalls Pat, did you cycle to the yellow salt box, are secret there.

[Pat Knowles]

@ladymagpie Yes I did Heather, how did you guess? I got down on my hands & knees to look behind it but never found anything. It was on tarmac so no stone to look under eithe. I think I need to take a torch next time to have a proper look. It had a brick wall covered in Ivy behind but ran my hands all along but still nothing!

Love it! The extraordinary loveliness of ordinary things!!
