Old John
Bradgate Park was home to Lady Jane Grey. It’s now public parkland. Old John was built on a volcanic rock. It’s shaped like a jug in memory of a drunken retainer and it’s a great place for kids to play.
A quadragintal is a blog of exactly 40 words.
Bradgate Park with its 850 acres of parkland
is situated just outside the City.

40 words that open up opportunities for research. I'm searching already. Cheers to Old John.
ReplyDeleteDrinking aside... looks like a great place to hike with your dog.
ReplyDeleteLet me first convey heart-full thanks for visiting my blog and valuable comments.

And your 40 word posting is a creative idea.
That idea of you drive me to follow your blog. I love creative writing.

Looks like a lovely place, and it makes me laugh that it is shaped like a jug, how funny.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place! That's funny that it's shaped like a jug. Very picturesque though, up on that hill.
