Midweek Marauders : Roundhay Park plus visiting Tim Kearney

Wednesday 5th November 2025. Roundhay Park plus visiting Tim Kearney

As the title suggests the Lads coordinated a visit to see their dear friend Tim Kearney at the Mansion along with a leisurely walk through Roundhay Park and Gardens etc. It was a pleasant morning as 6 of the gang alighted from the No 12 bus at the terminus close to the far entrance to the park, those being Colin, Glenn, Derek, Brian, Dave and John, the time was just a few minutes after 11:00am.

Derek and Colin making their way to the Mansion while the rest of us took a walk around the Canal Gardens and admire the tree stump carvings along with the many species trees showing their autumn colours etc, splendid.

A time of 11:30 had been arranged to meet up with Tim, so by this time Derek and Colin were inside the Mansion along with Russ and we soon joined them as we assembled ourselves around three pushed together tables, some few minutes later Don Alexander came and added another person to our group.

Our visit to see Tim lasting well over an hour and a half, with plenty of conversations taking place around the table as we sat and consumed our sausage sandwiches and various drinks etc.

Don kindly offered to give Tim a lift home in his car, Russ also leaving by car, the rest of us now venturing a little further down through the park and on towards the other entrance gate close to the far end of the lake, plenty of autumn leaves were scattered along the footpath as we walked along, eventually we arrived at the bus stop with only a few minutes to wait for the arrival of a suitable bus to take us back to the city centre in order to take our respective journeys home. It was a few minutes after 2 o’clock by now.
