We're only a couple of miles from the
Kennet and Avon canal - and for each of the last three evenings, in this Indian Summer, I've taken a stroll down there. Trying out my new camera in the half light, I'm going to show you some picture - this one of a heron is mediocre, I know, but some of the others are more impressive ...

Although the scene looks tranquil, that wasn't always the case here about - indeed
Seend Iron works must once have been a hive of activity! [See also

And at the end of the walk, what better that to sit outside at "The Barge" ... if not to drink too many pints of Wadworth 6X, then to take in the setting sun over the canal!
