After Friday&#8217;s obvious climactic blip\u00a0the weather was appalling, foggy and dull, making Belgrave even more depressing than usual! Someone had, very\u00a0cleverly, tried to fell some small trees along the\u00a0way and\u00a0block both the towpath and\u00a0the river. An unsuccessful attempt on both counts, but resulting in a bit of a mess. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">On the bus on the way back (yes we only walked one way!) we encountered a lovely lady, from Luxemburg of all places, who was delighted to have, what she termed, a proper conversation!\u00a0She started this\u00a0conversation with us\u00a0as a\u00a0result of\u00a0 hearing Ken using the word &#8216;mediocrity&#8217;. She was so engrossed in talking to us she nearly missed her stop! I have to say it was a pleasure to talk to her too.

I can drive on the straight and negotiate bridges and corners but am far from confident at other manouvres, such as entering locks and &#8216;parking&#8217; etc! After I have done the course hopefully we can share the driving and the locks. As I seem to have tennis elbow at the moment it will be a good thing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">More soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we did walk to Leicester yesterday.
