Walking

After much persuasion Steve agreed to walk along the towpath to the Butt Inn ( so named for the archery butts that were nearby ). 

Usually he will only walk one way, he likes to sit in the pub whilst I walk back to get the car and then collect him.

It took us 50 minutes to walk there, we stopped for about an hour and enjoyed a coffee and a sandwich, they do a nice selection of sandwiches and a choice of a baguette which Steve always chooses or rustic sliced bread, which I always choose. Steve has either steak or bacon. I usually have prawns in a Marie Rose sauce.

We had one minor hiccup when we were crossing the road to reach the towpath, Steve decided the traffic was traveling too fast and stood in the middle of the road waving his arms. I expect the drivers though he was drunk but whatever they thought, enough cars stopped to enable me to get him and Beano across the road in one piece.

After we'd eaten we walked home, it was a bit much and Steve was tired by the time we got back, but having managed it once I expect he'll do it again.

He has big plans for how far he wants to travel over the summer so he needs to prove he is capable.

A Happy Valentine's Day!
