Old haunts! Whitechapel Bowling Green. by happypat

Old haunts! Whitechapel Bowling Green.

I’ve spent a very nice afternoon watching the bowling at my old bowling green. We are living near the area we lived in for almost forty years so it was lovely to go back & spend an afternoon with everyone.
I was almost tempted to start bowling again. I might do too if I get bored in my new place.

Three good things:
1. Catching up with friends.
2. Harry has done his job of watering next doors vegged patch.
3. Looking forward to a meal out with friends tonight.
How nice - will you be joining the club Pat? Bowling looks a nice hobby to have

How lovely for you. It always looks such a sedate sport.

Looks very restful watching - not sure when you are playing as I know some people take these things very seriously!! Will you be playing again?

@lyndamcg I used to bowl years ago on this very green but gave up when we moved, I always liked it so may take it up again….I shall see how it goes Lynda.
@casablanca It is quite sedate but very sociable, 8 was never competitive enough & used to talk too much instead of concentrating.

@pamknowler I might do Pam…depends how much time I have when we move into our new place…I doubt it really but always an option. They are short of players I know.

Nice capture

I always thought bowling would not be good with a bad back but I think one just bends the knees when bowling. Might be good for the legs!

Nice for you to catch up with old friends. Great shot

Lawn bowls is very popular in our area but I have never played myself.

Looks like a fun sport! So good to be able to catch up with old friends!

Nice capture of your old stomping ground! My grandparents bowled, as did my mum. Mum's like you though, not competitive enough - she just liked the social side of things. Couldn't say the same for my grandfather though! ;-)

Such a relaxing game. And great to be with friends enjoying a good game. Quite a few players having a good time too.

Oh how fun! This looks like what I know as bocce ball. You should get back into it, Pat.
It's so nice to be able to start socializing with friends again!

A nice peaceful place, as long as the team is winning. FAV

That's lovely to be back near your 'old place' for a bit. I remember it so vividly, that bright sunny day. 😊😊

Interesting to see a "bowling green". Here we bowl indoors on wooden lanes. Yours seems much more relaxing.
