He didn't have a card

(Which tells which one he had)

 or have to wait 15 minutes.

We go to have a look around Stourport.

No charity shops were open.

Then we carried onto Bewdley.

The flood Barriers were put up just incase the river burst it's banks.

We crossed the road, went into the Charity Shop and bought some lovely things.

Now to explore more Bewdley.

Let's look at the other side of the Bridge.

It was getting really warm.

I had to take off two layers!

Now off for Sunday Lunch.

Unpacks our things we bought.

Now to go in Sexy Beast.

Then we nipped into the Co-op for some bits.

Still had people NOT wearing their facemasks in there!

The self- service till was playing up, everything we scanned something and put it in the bag, the buzzer and red light kept going off!

Once it was all sorted.

Off home to unpack.

My youngest son had finished a 1000 piece jigsaw I bought yesterday already!

I got him a 1500 piece jigsaw from Bewdley...

See how long it takes him to do this one↓

What's behind the Advent Calender door?

I wrote yesterday's blog post.

I pinned the linings on the curtains in the hallway.

Hubby had fun putting up the curtain pole then!

Very light tea for us.

Now to get down to more watching of Netflix.

Truth

Life and Death Row Series 2

Episode 3 of 4

Life and Death Row tells the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it. With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families, and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the system - execution, punishment and the complex nature of 'truth'.

In January 2014, Waynesville, Ohio, 18-year-old Justin Back is brutally murdered in his own home. Two of his 19-year-old friends, Austin Myers and Timothy Mosley, are arrested and charged with his murder. However both give very different versions of events, begging the question, who is telling the truth?

With prosecutors seeking the death penalty for the crime, what will each one do to save themselves from the ultimate punishment? With access to the families of all three boys, the devastating nature of this gruesome crime and it's repercussions are revealed. It's one crime but will there be two different outcomes?

Forgiveness

T.T. was raised by Tyrone's parents, who for years kept the fact that T.T's father had killed his mother a secret from him. As a teenager he met his father for the first time behind prison bars and discovered the devastating truth about what his father had done. With Execution Day a week away, T.T has to prepare himself to lose a parent all over again. Will he forgive his father before he loses him forever?
