Nottingham University

This morning mum and I decided to set off for Nottingham University- Highfield Park. The idea was a brisk walk, so I took just the camera and a spare battery. It was warm, dry but overcast.
It was easy to park near the theatre area and off we set. A small group was busy doing art along the lake side. At the place they sat was a colourful collection of boats.


We walked all around the lake and rediscovered the walled garden. Then on the way round the back of the university buildings was a cheeky squirrel.


When we got back to the theatre we debated having a cup of coffee. Thirst beat finance. At the counter was a young lady with a baby in a pram. She recognised us and then we recognised her as being one of the delegates at our Saturday house church conference. We settled down to coffee and a chat. She, Anna, has a strange way of meeting people in cafes. She told us how she met up with the leader of the conference. She told us that she felt led to go to a cafe in Sherwood. She went up to talk to man she had never met. It was Pete. Pete too had been led to go to the same cafe in Sherwood; in fact he had earlier left the cafe moved his car, but felt that he had to go back in. Coincidence?
