Par for the course round here Five new estates Two more under application

Wonder why the Pharmacy,Doctor Schools are buckling

Yep, I'm originally from Enderby, now live in braunstone Frith (near Scudamore rd in fact 300yds away it'd be Glenfield) and what has happened is the people who owned thousands of acres of the former Cpt Drummond estate which was farmland sold up to developers.............so much of the area from LFE (Leicester Forest East for non locals) down to Desford and across from Enderby will be built on.
Eventually Desford will become (like Enderby) a suburb of Leicester, you won't even know you've left the city.................Still look at the revenue Blaby District Council a safe 'tory seat' will be making.

Where do all these people come from because the houses here aren't bought by locals ?

Apparently there is a shortage of builders !
I wonder why !

They've not even dug the foundations yet.. Just the groundworks so far!

I used to live on the edge of town surrounded mostly by open fields. Now it is all houses and more going up. I used to hear a cuckoo about now but their habitat has gone.

Dryish day but overcast. Got out for a trike run but far too much traffic. Did not bother me too much as I stopped to look around quite often and was not in a rush.
Experimented with the loading ramps and got them to a length where I can push the trike in with one hand and steer with the other. Bolted them to length so less faff.

Back to town an enormous cruise boat is in. The main benefit is fees for the Harbour Authority.
On the beach spied what looked like my old Westerly in to get her bottom scrubbed ( no sniggering).
A local artist did a painting some years ago and I bought a print showing her waiting on low tide.
Not sure what the white square is but probably a reflection.

Just making a start on Mrs 73's tea , a kitchen table meetings on the cards. Mrs 73 has found out she's missed out on a new job but they've offered her a different one. It would mean a few changers.
