Now I can’t quite make up my mind if these pictures are boring enough to make their way in the Boring picture series or are the sort that on a slow news day in August would hit the headlines.
Because there was once that time of the year known as the silly season, when with many people on holiday the normal reports of wars, Cabinet reshuffles, and earthquakes faded from the front pages of the newspapers.
In their place, came stories of “man bites dog”, “the 2.15 from Manchester Piccadilly to Glossop delayed by ten minutes”, and “the hairpin lost 40 years ago at Gretna Green ceremony, found by an American tourist from Delaware”.
Of course, it is July and the silly season hasn’t officially started so I am guess they will fall between boring and pretty boring.
But there you are ………. A bit of a tree has fallen across the northern path, and the play areas remain in lock down.
Suggested captions for either image should be posted before 5 pm and posted in a sensible place.

How about "No Play for Today" and "The Road To Nowhere!"
