Aberdare Park, fish, pigeons and spiderwebs

The park used to be the pride of the valley, though it's still nice, it's fallen into disrepair. The band of seats that used to follow near the whole outline of the pond have gone, the water is now churned up and muddy looking. Once it used to be crystal clear, so you could see the golden carp deep in the waters. The fountain, while it never worked even when I was small, is rusting and in need of repair before it's too late.

From the archive: a wet park with pigeons in December 2002 and after our holidays, when the Aberdare Carnival was on September 2003.

So we feed the fish...

Round and round he went again and again, "WHAAA!"

His hands are doing the monster, "WHHHAAAA!"

Brave little boy? Or just little boy?

Some of the larger kids come on and are told off by Bradley as their weight makes the whole apparatus wobble while he climbs.

Of course, Esme gets to the top, but not all the way to the top.

This thing whizzes around reeaallly fast

After a bubble gum flavoured lollipop.

The biggest, widest tree trunk ever!
