A chilly walk in strong winds

Walking beside the lake (and wedding platform) at the nearby golf club

Back home I went to see the goats who had taken cover in their barn

And I collected a bag of onions from the onion barn. At the end of the summer there were strings of onions and garlic and many bags. Now it is almost empty. We have enjoyed them all through the autumn and part of the winter.

A four mile walk around town, river and weirs.

A little egret sitting on the branches that dip into the water

On the side of a house in Ackerman Street
A graffiti artist was spraying under bridge – it wasn’t Banksy click below
The rivers were full and the weir fast flowing click below
An old house that used to be an inn see the plaque below
Along a footpath we found this sapling planted to commemorate a much loved mother and grandmother
With an interesting surname which I googled as we passed

Narrow boats moored along the river and some have gardens beside their moorings

There is so much to see in and around the town.
