My morning at the lakes and activity centre... Pics..

[hollydolly]

...and my afternoon shopping .....

With my friend and her family over at the fishing lakes/golf course/activity centre, near here...

Usually very busy on the weekend but being Easter many people are away, so only a handful fishing, and a few kids at the activity area.. , and barely anyone on the golf course.. however the restaurant was booked up , so we couldn't have lunch there... had to have it later in town...

This is a small area where people can fish and don't need a permit, so people picnic here with their children away from the bigger lakes and serious anglers..

This is the creek at the bottom near the lakes.. I love this area..

Down at the 'fishermen only'' ..lakes....

At the activity area...crossbows, archery and Axe throwing...

Do the anglers have to pay for this privilege? Or the folks using the equipment?

Then into town for lunch and some shopping...

This is where I had lunch .. a quick snack... before going shopping by myself...

...and then in the sales .. I treated myself to these as birthday gift for myself tomorrow...

...and these...

...my idea of a perfect day.....

Thanks Holly (even though I now know not your real name), great pictures, a nice place to go.

Never heard of an "anglers only" lake.

What are the tall poles with something hanging from wires?

that's the climbing frame .. with hanging tyres, and all sorts of obstacles for people to get past... it's pretty high....

So Beautiful, those shoes are gorgeous.

I know....I love those blue suede ones... I got them for so cheap in the sales as well.. reduced from £79.99 to £5... they'd been reduced several times .. and it was my lucky day lol... the beige ones were quite a bit more...

@hollydolly .. Even though you didn't get to have lunch at the place you like, it sounds as though you had a pretty good day, Hols. I used to have similar shoes at one time, but can't wear them anymore. I hope you get a lot of pleasure out of your purchases.

Those photos make my mind feel peaceful and calm

I had a super day Pinks, thanks. I knew it was going to be sunny and warm today and forecast is for cloud tomorrow on my birthday plus as it's Easter Sunday everything is more or less closed.. so I decided to do everything nice today..

 

[fatboy]

yes.. ..to both questions...

looks like a carp fishing lake

 

[hollydolly]

looks like a carp fishing lake

it might be..however there's signs up everywhere for the fishermen and anglers and it doesn't specify Carp.....there's actually 3 lakes...

Love the shoes!!
Are those day tents, or can people spend the night in them? Looks fun.

Those tents belong to the anglers, so they can sleep in them overnight if they have a weekend fishing permit..

 

[officerripley]

So pretty and green there; that's something I greatly miss where I live now.

 

[dseag2]

Lovely, and thanks for sharing! What a great way to celebrate a pre-Birthday!

Is that primarily meant to accommodate the ones who want to fish at night or in the extreme early hours of morning?

I wouldn't know tbh, not being a fisherman, but we have many lakes around here where I live and when I walk around any or all of them , it seems all the fishermen have those tents.. I think they keep all their kit inside them as well even if they're only fishing for the day...

 

[hollydolly]

I'm pleased I chose yesterday to go out because it was as you can see a Truly beutiful spring day with temps in the low 70's... today it's nice but it's kind of dull sunshine .. a semi blue /grey sky... so the pictures wouldn't have looked so nice..
