Saturday 13th March 2010 - A lovely sunny day and wearing in my new shoes felt like I was driving a new car in them and was uneasy breaking as it felt so different, I should of worn my trainers as at the end of the session my feet were killing me and develop blisters.
Parked the car at the back of the West Bletchley Town Council offices, the shopping precint seemed to be ungoing a refurbishment with scaffolding and netting everywhere.
A lady at one of the properties I was leafleting said I made her jump as she opened the door to the side of her house I apologised and we had a good laugh about it.
One guy as I was putting a leaflet through his door was walking up the pathway coming back from shopping was talking to me in such a mumble I could not understand what he was saying to me, I just smiled and laughed but he could of being having a go at me but I will never know.
As I was progressing down Whaddon Way an attractive lady was walking her small black dog which in a friendly way jumped up on me for which she told her dog off but I just smiled back at her.
Another couple were laying down concrete for their front pathway, and a couple of other properties were having extensive building work undertaken.
One house had decorated their green wheelie bin with a picture of Scooby Doo which had the same words on them and lots of pictures of cartoon bones all over the bin which I quite liked.
I noticed as I finished leafleting Whaddon Way that a former pub on the corner with Shenley Road had been badly burned down and had hoardings all around it, but what amazed me was a chimney stack still standing among the ruin.
On the Buckingham Road at one of the bus stops was a lady talking aloud to herself, the properties there had quite extensive frontages which took a lot out of me walking up and down them and I broke in to a sweat.
One of the properties I leafleted lived a family my mother had child minded for.
Both streets had some really nice properties on them and a couple were on really big grounds all the times I had driven down these streets over the years by walking them I took a lot more in.
All in all a good mornings work and no mishaps.
