Random things seen on the way to, at, or on the way back from parkrun #3: a fallen tree near Ally Pally. Though not that random given the weather, I suppose.

Lovely. After reading your post earlier I listened to the album on the way home. An urge now to listen to their Christmas album but I suppose I should wait until after Bonfire Night at least.

This would have made a good one for my new series on random things seen on the way to, at, or on the way back from parkrun. Unfortunately when I saw it I was not on the way to, at, or on the way back from parkrun.

I was in Fallowfield and saw a surprising number of mattresses compared to my normal parkrun.

Random things seen on the way to, at, or on the way back from parkrun - #1 in what might be an occasional new series: an abandoned office chair in the street.
