A Foggy Walk

You've seen some of the views in bright blue sun shine (see post before one) but this morning it was foggy and it was cold. 




Don't worry Horsey your friends are still there!


Normally I can see the next bridge and the water tower














Where has the water tower gone?


When I got home I noticed there was a Spoonbill at Amwell! I made a coffee and read ;)

Audley

It's been a quiet week. I have walked a fair bit, listened to lots of podcasts and read a bit. 

I am trying to work out why Terry Brooks can't extend the Shannara books? if anyone knows let me know as I may have missed something.

YEARS ago and I mean years I read Ben Bova's Voyagers. Now I remember enjoying it but for some reason never read anything else by him and there have been sequels to Voyagers. I therefore decided I finally ought to rectify that. Over the years he has been bust writing lots of stuff including a future history called the Grand Tour. Instead of starting with that I picked up the first volume of a short fiction best of anthology.  I am half way through and it is very good I guess its kind of old school (Bova was an editor of Analog science fiction magazine) but very good it is too. Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke fans will approve and I will read more.

Anyway today I went to Audley. It was grey and dull but was nowhere near as cold as it was yesterday.

I headed straight for the coffee and also had a sausage bap which I took to some outdoor seating in the spot below.



There were two little Grebes and you can tell winter is coming since Tufted Duck numbers are up ;)

















































I am back next Saturday as well. Lockdown ends Thursday but the weather forecast doesn't look great so nowhere booked yet. Lets hope it stays dry for Hatfield on Wednesday :)

Stay safe everyone.
