Walkies


We went for a stroll the other day - 4 hours including afternoon tea. It was a pleasant walk along the canal side, and would have been even better were it not raining. Yes folks, it's winter in the UK already. While Italy is sweltering in 40 deg, we have rain, rain and more bloody rain. No wonder they've colonised Spain.

We also went for a tour of the drains, sewers and loos of Bath last night. Not in 'em fortunately, but along their courses. Of course it rained then as well. You may not think that the history of drainage from Roman to Victorian times could be interesting but it was.
Lots of things that had been curious but are now explained.
The beer to finish with was pretty good too.

I'm chipping away at captions, but it is slow work. Otherwise I have nothing much to report. See J's blog for more info I guess.

Here's some pics to look at anyway.
