A glorious day for England (and Scunthorpe Town Centre)

Finally England can breathe a sigh of relief - we're through to the next round of the World Cup along with the USA from our group so to celebrate we decided to live wild and go for fish and chips which led to these lovely images!  It's not often we go into Scunthorpe town centre so it was a great surprise to find that North Lincs Council have demolished three blocks of terrace houses along West Street and temporarily replaced them with the most fantastic flower meadows - a mix of poppies, cornflowers and lots of other little things I'm not sure of so if any one from the Council is reading I would love to know the exact mix - hopefully they wont be cut but will left for the hundred or so Goldfinches which roost in the town centre - anyway well done to the council it certainly brightens up a dingy run down town center.

  2. I think that's as good a wildflower meadow you'd find anywhere! They're lovely pictures - really pretty.
    I'd go back and take some pics - perhaps - enter a competition with them - sell them to a newspaper? Try and get more of the emnvironmemt to, but return at the same time as the light is so good. I'm sure you could have a winner there!
