Turning

It was all quiet on the Market Place today as the activities of recent days seemed to have reached a conclusion. All the tubs are now empty of plants and soil and the lighting column now stands in its new position. I expect work to resume soon as preparations for the Charter Fair continue but as today was a quiet day, I had to find something else to photograph. And here in Wharncliffe Road just a few steps from the Market Place, it was the changing colours of the leaves on the trees at the back of the Town Hall that caught my eye. By the time the Fair arrives the town centre should be awash with autumn colours.

Walkabout

We went for a walk about Derby this morning and seeing that the Australian Bar was sporting St George's flags, suddenly I didn't feel quite so guilty about supporting the Socceroos in the World Cup. I still don't expect them to get much further in the competition though on their last showing but you never know.

Changing My Allegience

After yesterday's result where Germany beat Australia I think I'll forget about the sweep and look for another shirt.

Come On You Socceroos!

Although born and bred in the UK, tonight I'm going to be an Aussie and support the team as they take on Germany in the World Cup. I've drawn them in the sweep so all that remains is to don the shirt and grab a tinny from the fridge.
