June 25th – People have been asking me why I haven’t featured any pictures of the new leisure centre development at Oak Park yet. There’s a simple answer to that – it’s very, very hard to get good images of.

The site is huge, surrounded by trees and high hoardings, and you can’t get a good angle on it. But it does look like it’ll be nice; looking through the trees today I could see they had been digging the pools out under the steel frame.

It’s also a remarkably well-run site, with flowers planted outside the gate, and even water for passing dogs.

I’m watching it carefully, and as soon as there’s a better photo-op I’ll go for it.
