The Island On Bracebridge Pool

I hadn't used the drone for some time so decided to recharge the batteries and take it to an old haunt in Sutton Park.  I have fond memories of this little island.  We were taken to the park in 1971 on a school trip and were allowed to swim out to the island from the small beach you can see on the left of the frame.  I can't imagine it being allowed these days!  

I'm going to admit, I didn't swim to the island. I was a late learner to swimming, though I made up for it in later life.  I was so envious of my school friends out there, jumping off the branches of the trees into the pool.

After capturing the images I had a coffee at the recently refurbished bistro in the distance, watching with interest the antics of a couple of robins, hoping to get some crumbs from the food being eaten on the terrace.  It was only afterwards I realised that the candle in the glass jar was lit.  He was obviously enjoying the little bit of extra heat from the flame.
