Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. Not a cloud in sight and a big moon shining. A little bit warmer this morning and the wildlife are making the most of it. Something that doesn't know me went crashing through the bushes, probably a small deer.

The funeral yesterday went as well as a funeral can. Well attended and the green of Cotswold Canals Trust was well represented. After a round trip of 230 miles I was glad to get home and have a serious conversation with a rather nice bottle of red.

Not doing much today.

Have a happy day everyone.

Thanks Pixie but I'm not sure that is the place. The day out yesterday was marvelous. The weather couldn't have been better. Stow in the Wold was lovely. Had lunch in a Pub in the middle but can't remember its name. Really good second-hand bookshop as well. Had tea and cake in the Mill at Lower Slaughter. Proper tea, in a tea pot abd big slice of fruit cake. They have a little terrace overlooking the Mill Pond, where you can sit :::

Can't recommend this place highly enough.

I know that these Cotswold places are a little twee but when you live on a scruffy council estate as I do, its nice to have a day somewhere as beautiful as this. No scruffy people standing around smoking, wrecked cars, and no litter !
