Hoods up. Umbrellas up. John has picked a wet day for his walk.
We cross the Sharpness Canal
Must be the time of year
Reaching the Severn
We turn up into Hempsted - interesting high tide mark
Can't be clearer than that
Hempsted graveyard
And church
We head across fields to an old well
Not much water in it now
A pause while we admire the Hempsted rubbish tip
Spot the seagulls
We reach the road
Obviously political but not sure what the artist is getting at
More graffiti
And a burnt-out warehouse
Llanthony Secunda Priory
Reaching the docks
Pleasure boats lined up
Then into the Christmas Market
Where you can buy anything
Or even ice skate
That's blocked our way back
But we have to wait for stragglers
Plenty of rubbish talked on our walks
Now heading along the canal
Don't get in front of the leader
We pass some fishermen
Eventually reaching Rea Bridge
And cross the canal
To get back to the cars and mince pies supplied by John (pastry and mincemeat made by John!)
