a walk with my friends

---

Today I met my two friends Kate and Irene at the canal near Oswestry. Its a good place to meet as its about half an hour for each to get there, and there's a lovely cafe - oh, and some nice walks along the canal and lanes.
Its very exciting as we are thinking of going to Crete together for a week in March, only just talked about today, but they are both very keen, and I expect it would be lovely. I'm just not good at quick decisions. But I asked Alex and he says he doesn't mind, so I think I shall go if Irene finds out about it.

the ford
that proved too deep to ford! Too much floodwater rushing down the brook.

Only Ruby
who went in twice. But the second time she almost drowned because the water kept pushing her under.

Kate
back at the cafe, where we had cake and coffee, but forgot to take a photo.

the canal bridge
is very steep, and I like the sign

canal
is still frozen in part.

Alder tree
thinking about spring - and today was lovely and mild.

Wow another holiday!
Will you do lots of walking!! I love the pictures of your walk - it still looks very cold compared to 24 degrees here still!!

Go for it Carrie
Crete in March. Fabulous. I shall look forward to the blog!! The poor dog, it is lucky she wasn't washed away. It does look quite rough under the bridge.

crete
kate is going to do a sponsored walk in lebanon with her brother in April, and is/will be training hard, as she'll need to be fit. So I expect that a bit of walking will be on the menu..... and a bit of taverna checking!
