Last night at 10.00p.m hubby rings to ask me to meet him from local railway station approx. 1 mile away.
This means walking through the local (well lit) park in the dark.
The park seemed to be full of teenagers still playing on bikes on the skateboard ramps.
Then coming down towards the canal, I nearly jumped out of my skin as 2 community police officers came around the corner. There were loads of other people out and about too, with dogs or just out for a stroll ‘cos the wind and rain had eased off.
Clutching the large golf brolly I was ready for anything, but felt very relieved when a slighty staggering familiar face came towards me.
Have the attitude that we shouldn’t be frightened to go out and enjoy the places we live in, night or day, maybe wouldn’t do this in a city centre though.
