@tom_andraszek I think we've got a not dissimilar reference point.

For me, its Laisves alėja in Kaunas (in Lithuania).

There's two rows of trees down the middle.

There's park benches under many of those trees.

The generally accepted rule is that you cycle (or skateboard) in that area.

There's a wide pedestrian space either side.

The buildings on either side are around four storeys tall.

You have shops and cafés on the ground floor, with all fresco dining.

You have small offices (doctors, dentists) and apartments on the floors above.

The pedestrianised street runs the entire length of the Kaunas CBD.

It begins in the old town, near Kaunas Castle and the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris Rivers.

It runs around 1.6 kilometres east.

There are trolleybuses running parallel along the streets one block north and one block south.

It would be worthwhile for Australian urban planners to head out to Kaunas just to see this one street.

I guarantee they'd learn a lot about what a pedestrianised space should be.

On my travels I ended up taking a detour to a church yesterday. I had never been to before and out of the corner of my eye I spotted the moon and the cross peeking through this little angle in the arch. It was hard to get everything into frame - this is the best I could do! 😂

Well I didn’t get the lawns done after all, but all is ready for tomorrow morning now. I still had a fairly busy day anyway. I had my #Walk with my daughter & grandson who has a nasty wee cough he picked up a while ago but now seems to be developing a bit. Home for lunch & I got my #Sourdough prepped & in the fridge for the second prove & that will stay there overnight for cooking first thing tomorrow, fresh bread for lunch 😃! Decanted & refed my #Kefir & started my scrap broth in the slow cooker from things I’d saved in the freezer, #Soup base for winter eating. Spoke to my sister to see how she got on at the cardiologist then relayed those details to my other sister & brother in #Adelaide.
I had a bit of an argument with someone on here & then she was a little derogatory towards me because I blocked her 🤷🏼‍♀️. Very nice 😏.
I also think I’m turning into my Mum, my dish rack has four plastic bags draining on top of my dishes 😂. #Family
