Waking up to a wonderful blue skied morning with the sun blazing on "our" building was such a change after all the drear of rain and grey of recent days and weeks.The idea was to go out for a bike ride, but this was thwarted by a fun run event. The thought of having to negotiate jolly joggers while cycling did not have much appeal so we decided to go for a walk along the river and canal.

Autumn was reflected in the water and the colours of leaves were amazing, though the rather delapidated view point provided as much photographic entertainment as the views.





A slow meander up to the aqueduct and a photographic foray underneath to try and capture stalactites in the making as water dripped, but never at the right click of the camera button.

Then onwards and upwards onto the canal towpath and a leisurely walk into town, stopping off for a drink before wending our way home.
