Ten of us are keen to get some fresh air in this very mild but wet winter
It rains as we set off on Ann's walk from Frampton
Brian spots three daffodils
Plenty of firewood but not so cold at the moment
We head off across the estate
And by the lakes
The manor in a spot of sunshine
Anne avoids the very wet fields and leads us single file along roads
Until we reach Walk Bridge, and the short section of the Stroudwater Canal awaiting to be joined up to The Ocean, soon we hope!
Over the other side the busy marina
And two ladders ready to help anyone in difficulties to get up out of the water
We cross Junction Bridge and it immediately swings to let a boat through
Getting near to coffee time
So we pop in for a toasted teacake and real coffee!
Still raining when we emerge
We soldier on valiently
A three point turn?
Mike's brolly is excellent for use as a backmarker
The Severn and the Forest - allegedly
We cross the canal and spot our destination - Frampton with its church
Our leader Anne and Ann pose
Nearly there
A quick couple of photos
In the old church - George III's coat of arms
Past the village hall
We have had a good walk in spite of the weather
Caption competition - what is Brian saying?
