Route 56

We took a long walk today to the allotment - the weather was perfect.  Crisp, cold and clear - you can see that by the clarity of the photo's.  We set off from Smithdown Road and walked up Arundel Avenue past the Quaker's resting ground, crossed over Hartington and up Fern Grove where we dived into Lodge Lane Asian supermarket.  We bought a patty, a packet of pistachio's and 5 yellow plums and then I spotted this box of quince.

We carried on walking up towards the Welsh Streets in Toxteth and had a look at Cairns Street, said hello to one of the 4 or 5 residents of the whole street as most of it is boarded up.  Here's the video of my walk from one end of Cairns Street to the other.

 

We carried on walking through Princes Park then Sefton Park then up towards Mosley Hill where these mature trees became our view.

And finally we came out on the brow of Rose Lane and into the allotment.  This was a good two hour walk. We harvested the apples, ate some of the autumn flowering raspberries and admired the quince tree's beauty.
