Ravensthorpe Walk

Mam and I went for a walk yesterday around Ravensthorpe reservoir. We used to come here loads, but neither of us had been in a long time.

Here's some photos. If you click on them they should enlarge - especially good for these panoramics.

It was really nice, and we ended up in the pub for a pint with friends.

Also went back to the New Inn at Long Buckby the other day for another pint of draft Hobs.

We were visiting Aunty Heron, who was up preparing Celia for her tri-annual MOT.

Walking to the boat, we passed another one which was actually called Heron!  It had a rather unfortunate sign in the window...

Watching boat approaching lock from the comfort of pub.

Also worthy of note this week is the croque-monsieur that mam made for breakfast the other day. Best breakfast ever? Quite possibly.

It's Pirate's Day at my nephew's sailing club on Saturday. Expect funny photos to follow...
