Canal walk, Worcester: Tuesday, 30th October, 2018.

It's a walk in to town and back via Perdiswell and then down the canal today.
Our mission is to see if we can find the swans from Gheluvelt Park.
We chat to two pairs of swans (this is the first pair) but neither are 'ours'.
The mystery remains unsolved.

The Malverns (with Roger): Friday, 26th October, 2018.

Wales is over there.
Cheltenham is down there.
Panoramic view towards Wales.
The view over Malvern.
We've reached the top and there's a…..ahem……bracing wind 
coming from the North West today.
There's some rain showers coming as well by the look of things.
Well, it is late October.
We've found a little bit of shelter and are now sat down 
on a bench drinking our traditional tea with biccies.
The wind is still strong and is trying to blow our mugs of tea off the bench.
It's all downhill from here, thank goodness.
Halfway back down now.

End of the day Fit Bit stats:
15,456 steps.
7.29 miles.
68 stairs.
2,971 cals burnt.

Gheluvelt Park.
Arrival at The Cathedral.
Vicky says this is The Bishop's House.
Take a photo Dave.
OK Vic.
Today is the anniversary of Vicky's Mum's passing.
The Cathedral's Vault.
Back outside The Cathedral again and feeling hungry.
In Elgars now and it's toasted granary bread
 with butter and jam for Vicky and……
…….curried carrot soup with a granary cheese sammidge for David.
On the way back home now and someone's shoelace has come undone.
Again.
Looking forward to getting back home now 
and the chance to have a rest and put our feet up.

These little fellas get everywhere.
Remembering Vicky's Mum.

Just a small corner of Witton Cemetery,
within a most welcome giant oasis of calm.

Backlit Mother Nature on a sunny fresh autumn morning.
You can't beat it.
Great spot to take a rest.
Two very olde fellas slurping tea and scoffing biccies, thankfully, just out of shot.
