20th July, 2017. The best time of day to see the new improved Hull city centre.

Evening ride to Minerva pier, J. Cash tribute about to start on stage erected at water-front, first of four days of music festivals there. Then parked alongside Queen’s Gardens, walked park, fountain and gardens and through to Quenn Victoria Square and sat beside new fountains, all pedestrianisation, re-surfacing and upgrading here and streets around and, as pleasant evening weather, could sit and appreciate buildings around and the ‘playful’ fountains, so much more so than during the day with all the hustle-and-bustle of daytime life. Really to be recommended.

Picture above of rosebay willow-herb, to me always the flower of the summer holidays.

Personal – Overnight rain but not the thunder forecast, rain most of morning but faired-up mid pm and evening (see above). Haircut for first time at Curtis, pm plumber to fix waste pipe on ground-floor bath and sink drain. R. tea, dog to Baysgarth beforehand.
