Headed out earlier in a fine drizzle. We wanted to get a walk in before the forecast deluge. The rain cleared and the sun came out so we had a quite pleasant amble. Although the route of our local walks can be a bit "samey", I make a point of trying to see things that I've not noticed before, It can be a bit of an eye opener, the patterns and manufacturers of cast iron drain covers, the detail on Post Boxes etc. There's a Telecoms conduit cover around the corner that bears the legend " Plymouth University" . How it made it's way to a suburb of Poole is a mystery.
Speaking of Post Boxes, It's a one kilometre walk from our house to the parade of shops in Broadstone. There are two postboxes en route, the compact type that are mounted on a sturdy pole. I noticed a few weeks ago that one of them was no longer there and assumed that it was probably superfluous. A few days later there was a sign on the post reporting that the Post Box had been stolen overnight.
