I had a opthalmologist's appointment at a local hospital this morning and as they often put drops in your eyes to dilate your pupils after which you're not allowed to drive, I decided I would walk to the hospital via Darrick and Newstead Woods. It's generally a very peaceful walk through the trees and avoids the busyness of the main roads, however today I spotted the rather charming sight of a burnt out car in the middle of the school playing fields next to the woods. They'd also clearly done a good few laps of the field before setting light to the car as the grass was all churned-up too - delightful!
