My dear Peter,

My dear Füsun
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
Glad you like it.
I had walked down the canal from Grandpa Greenes’ café to just past here. Yes, a big stone viaduct that I traveled over many times on my way to University, and many times I had looked out of the window at the canal knowing that a long tunnel followed.. Today I got to walk along the canal path! And share some pictures!
Love Peter

Hi Marie-claire ,

Hi Peter,
A perfect place for a cafe! I like the inclusion of the couple and even a train passing by! What could be better. What was Herb's idea!?
Best wishes,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am so happy that you like the scene.
I too was pleased that the lady in pink walked past! There were a lot of people out enjoying this canal, and I am sure the cafe was busy too.
Herb lives very close to here, and he gave me some ideas as to a good place to walk. Very kind gentleman!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Steve ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
Needless to say I took a lot of pictures along this walk. Maybe one day a steam train might be seen here.
Best Wishes,
Peter

Always good to get some local knowledge, and you couldn't do better than Herb.

I am sure he would have been just as helpful to me had the roles been reversed Rosa. I wanted to travel along too but I was still feeling the effects of an earlier back-twist and so was laid up.

Cheers, Herb

Ah Peter, delighted that you managed to explore my very local villages and canal paths. Such a great pity that we could not meet up but at least you managed to have a nice walk and as proven here at least one great photo. I have never managed to get a train going over this viaduct from here. I have seen many photos of it from a much higher viewpoint, even with steam trains, but again, I could not even find where they had done that. A most fortunate moment with that red clad girl. Anyway, glad it went well and the weather was kind. Cheers too for the friendly dropping of my name here :)

Keep safe and happy travels. Herb

Hi Herb ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit, and of course the initial idea.
I walked from Grandpa Greene's (which was doing a roaring trade), under the viaduct, and along a bit further before going back.

It is possible that the 'higher view point' was from a drone or simply a long pole, rather than standing there. I have seen both done before.

I suppose if you wait long enough a steam train might come, but there are very few excursions running now due to the virus.

Best Wishes,
Peter

very beautiful compo !
