05/01/2019 Happy New Year everyone.

I have been regularly walking the canal to keep myself relatively fit.  It has been cold, but with almost no rain so far and little wind, even I who loves the sun have enjoyed my walks.  If you have not seen my previous two posts then there is more information about the canal there.

Mist on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

As above.

One of the locks.

George Bar Bistro.

Caen Hill Locks are the longest continuous straight flight of locks in the UK.

This dog obviously decided that she had walked far enough and refused to move 😉

Catkins.

Quakers walk away from the canal

Squirrels in the trees...

and a very excited dog saw them and could not stop yapping.

Sunset over Devizes.

Loved this pair in the sidecar seen in Devizes.

Reflections on the canal.

The wharf.

No, it is not real but very lifelike.

Still waters run deep.

Devizes is a truly historic town and so full of history.  I try not to put too much information on the photodiary, so I have posted about the town on My Life In the Charente 2 with lots more information which might interest many of you.

25/10/2016 Another trip to Angouleme.

Maximum temperature 22C, minimum 8C.  15 km/h SE wind. 3 mm of rain. There appeared to be much more rain near Angouleme yesterday than we had!
Leaving home it was very misty but the photos I took were useless!  The sky though was interesting with many vapour trails.

Still some mist around Angouleme on arrival.

This dear little Vespa and sidecar were parked in the underground garage. 

Outside after our meeting the mist had lifted and this is a view from the top of the hill across the train station....

The enclosed market on the right....

Looking the other way where there are a lot of residential places...

and the to left of the station runs the Charente river.

Inside the market; fruit....

vegetables...

and fish.

I have searched all over to find out what this is by the side of the walled part of Angouleme, and for the time being I have given up!!!  If any one knows I would be delighted to hear from them.

Another view of Angouleme from the bottom of the hill looking up. 

Some restoration going on here, but the exterior facade obviously remains as was which is good...

Large equipment moving in by the look of it.
