On the first cool day of Autumn my spirits were lifted by this quartet playing Latin American music to the passing crowds as they made their way home. While many were impresed and left a little something for the band I don't think this lady was in the mood.

Parliament Street

This is Parliament Street an elegant collection of fine Georgian houses. The construction of this street required an act of Parliament (hence the name) and was the start of the end of the old mediaeval layout of Hull as it cut through old buildings and alleyways to the town walls which were in the process of being demolished to make way for a new dock. Nowadays the street houses law firms and recruitment agencies.

Sitting high above the entrance to the central library is this little statue. I think it's meant to be the goddess Iris, a messenger of the gods. Homer ( the Greek one not the fat yellow American one) says "And now Iris, fleet as the wind, was sent by Jove to tell the bad news among the Trojans"; bit of a come down, then, to be stuck in Hull

Licenced to chill

I admire the understated modesty of this store.
