RE: Aylestone Meadows: September 9 2018
A woman was paddling in the river further down, there were beaches on both banks and couple of simple rope and plank swings hanging from a tree over the river. She told me that the water was very cold, but that this had been a special place for her son who had died. She liked to come there and sit on the swing because she felt close to him there.
Aww thats really sad, but everyone needs to get their peace however they can.
They do. I was touched by how important these places are to people. It is a lovely spot, even on a gloomy day.
