Haslam Park
   
Today we braved Preston. I hate Preston. Preston hates me. But M**** wanted to go there (to visit Mothercare or something) so I put aside my own feelings on the matter. As is typical of any day in Preston, it was grey. Not really raining, not really sunny, just grey. We easily found the Mothercare (somewhere in the Riverside / Docklands area), got our stuff and then left. I thought that was it, but M**** had spotted this interesting little park (Haslam Park; see pictures) on the way in, so we checked it out on the way back. The park contained many people with vicious looking dogs and most of the bins contained empty cans of Special Brew or otherwise cheap lager. The park had an oppresive atmosphere, but that could have just been Preston - I'm not sure. Nonetheless, it was kind of pretty, especially the tree-lined avenue beyond the main entrance (and what's with the weird, twisted tree?). We wandered around, visited a pond, threw some mouldy bread at the disinterested ducks (odd that), visited the swings and then left (phew).
