In the Hand pub
After my walk along the canal which I followed to just outside the town limits, I returned to the hotel to wait for Gail. When she returned I took her back for an abbreviated walk along the now dark canal towpath. Still not wanting to call it a night yet, we headed down to the hotel bar. We enjoyed a couple beers while watching the gentlemen feeding his dog small dishes of beer and salted peanuts. It was after 11:00 before we headed up to bed.
