Grim march of progress.

Rubbish photo through the home-office/bedroom window just now, looking up the road.  Having grubbed up the hedgerows and filled in the ditches the groundwater continues to deepen.  At the residents association meeting the other day some reported that the ground level behind their houses was now +1 m, whereas before there was a (working) ditch, consequently their gardens are becoming soggier. I can see puddles in the grass next door.

This is Jan 2021 while the closest ditch and hedgerow were still there but after the developers had blocked the drainage path.  They had to dig a big channel to lose this water but they can't do that now!

I took my Photography & Wellbeing Group to Balloch Park and Country Castle today.  Nothing grim about it.  In fact it was beautiful.  Then I dropped a couple of people back off at Headquarters and saw the leftover pumpkins.  Grim as you like.

Manchester council spent millions building a wall in the once lovely Piccadilly Gardens. The place is an absolute shit hole. I think they thought they were being trendy building it. I believe they may be pulling it down at some point.

Anyway, the place is grim.

Even some trees don't make it look better

I think Dominic Cummings may have been in town and graffiti'd the wall
