A riverbank walk near Brigg

Slipping this one in here, I'm getting a bit behind with the blog posts, they are mounting up. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day, time to go walkies. I drove to Brigg, there was a market on in the main square. It was all about arts and crafts and home made, and antiques. It wasn't vey busy. 

Brigg is a Market Town, there are lots of independent traders. There is a chippy which makes nice chips. I can't remember the last time I bought chips out. Let's have a treat. £2 for a tray, it was a big tray. Too much for one so I wrapped half of them up and brought them home. I microwaved them for breakfast this morning. 

I got chatting to a man who was sat on the next bench eating his ice cream. Small talk passing the time of day at first. I don't know how it happened but we ended up deep in conversation for an hour. Nice when a stranger is pleasant to talk to, we put the world to rights as the saying goes. 

Off I went for a walk. A long road took me to a small village called Cadney. I have been here before. The church door was unlocked so I took a peek inside. The Church Warden was there busying herself with some chores. 

I sat on a bench in the churchyard and ate my cheese and Marmite sandwich. All the trees have had the ivy chopped back at the bottom around their trunks. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. I suppose the ivy will engulf the trees and smother them. Not sure if the trees will die if this chopping back is not done. 

Out of Cadney I went down a lane. The signpost said Cadney Bridge 1 mile. At this point I turned right along the river bank to head back to Brigg. Every so often I heard the buzz of light aircraft from the nearby Hibaldstow air field flying overhead. 

 

I wondered if I might see some swans. The sun was going down and the light was beginning to fade, when I saw this family of mum and dad, with their brood of five teenage kids. I'm not sure at what age they have to be before they go their own way. 

Here is a little video chat. 

Eight miles covered to add to my total. I must keep up the walking to catch up the miles I missed. 

A few more holiday pics left. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
