It is a while since I went for a walk around Abbey Park, Leicester. Last time was just before Christmas and I seem to recall a bit colder than today. Most of the birds have had their broods for the year and they appear to be taking stock before once more preparing to endure another winter. Talking of endurance the park itself has seen better days. The first time I walked around the park was in the 1970’s and there is a rundown feel about the place that was hanging in the air back then. So much for the benefits of Brexit…too political? I think not.
