We decided to go for a walk along the Grand Union canal but before that, John's Norweigan 'gravity chair' arrived. It had to be assembled, and of course, the instructions were in Chinese, loosely translated into Norweigan. It was fun.
..or at least, Claire was appreciative, and John loved the chair.
Then off on our adventure, first to the Underground, .....
... then to Euston Overground station. Here we found most services cancelled (signalling troubles), then Cathy heard an announcement, we ran, and just got the last train (ever?) to King's Langley.
Here is Cathy, fresh and eager for the treat
and here is Paul, 4 miles into the walk, and we still haven't seen a pub. 'When's lunch' became the photographer's constant cry
We could have gone shopping, but the shop was on the other side of the canal.
Your influence is everywhere, Julie!
The canal-side houses were lovely, as was the countryside.
As Cathy took this photo, she said "thatched and unthatched". What did she mean?
At last, after 12 MILES, the view from the bedroom at Black jack's Mill.
And our view at breakfast-time.
After the walk, all we could say was "distant canal" (Peter O'L can translate if necessary)
After that walk I think Kerry would say, "why not drive?"
ReplyDeletePaul what is the stick for? Beating off wild pixies?
Did youse do some locks for practice?
By the way what happens to the lock keeper's daughter whilst the lock keeper's out keeping locks?
I don't follow the "distant canal" reference.
Congratulations on the walk. Hope you found a coffee shop Cathy.
