On Monday myself and Michelle headed out to the Deer Park to celebrate a number of different things including someone having received her teaching application (this is a landmark achievement for the Royal Mail).

It occured to me though that are days at the Deer Park maybe be looking limited. If you include the fact that I am spending the weekend after next in Warwick for the AHS national conference I only have 9 days left in Roundhay!

I will certainly miss it, there aren’t any overly nice pubs on my door step next year though there are plenty of cheap ones such as the Library and town just a few minutes walk away. In any case though I think a few trips out to the Deer Park at some point may be in order.

Walking up to the Deer Park on Friday we heard a few fireworks going off.

Except they weren’t fireworks. They were gun shots.

We arrived at the Deer Park, got ourselves a drink and sat down next to the window looking out across the street. The next thing we know there are loads of police, crime scene investigators and news reporters turning up.

It turns out there had been an armed robbery as a Securior can dropped off cash at the Abbey branch in which one of the security personell was shot in the leg. West Yorkshire Police are currently appealing for witnesses. Given it happened on a busy street opposite a busy pub it seems suprising if nobody had.
