My peaceful weekend at the blades
Pros:

The river side, the view though it is still but wow!!! I can't wait to visit in summer, the quietness, it gives peace of mind

Cons:

Not something that I can think of, but I wish there was a bench where I can sit during sunset by the river side just to watch those ducks playing...
