I was not invited back

There used to be a mental asylum around the corner from where I live. It closed 15 years ago and while the hospital itself was converted into luxury flats, the grounds became a public park. Despite the fact that it’s literally five minutes from my front door, in 22 years I’ve not visited it once. We got about 6 inches of snow here on Saturday (and I love snow) so I decided to make the most of it and go for a walk. I brought my hipster camera with me and took some shots, & I’m sending them off for developing later. This is a photo from back in 2010, but it looked identical today. And, as with most unplanned walks in London suburbs, I ended up lost in a housing estate.
