“Interesting” day

A recce walk with Corinthian and R started with delays on the little bus which goes around the villages.  A lorry blocking roadworks led to frustrated drivers.  Once on the move our driver tried to make up time, but shot out onto a roundabout and hit a car coming through. Passengers on the floor of the bus, but no injuries thankfully. Second bus to Utley, and walked past lovely old houses to reach Keighley Golf Club.  A club I have never been to and it looks to be a beautiful course.  A lovely walk up the hillside, through woodlands and fields and then back down to the canal - lots of animals en route, including this heron on the look out for lunch (more in extras). Paddle boarders and a canoe on the canal - wouldn’t fancy falling into that water!  Back through the golf course and into Utley Cemetery which is fascinating with impressive Victorian headstones and vaults - must return and see more.  Once back in town I went off to the supermarket as my daughter said she would pick me up so that I didn’t have to carry more heavy items on the bus.  She turned up with my grandson, so we had a brew and a chat when we reached home. Turns out the canoeists we had seen are teachers at his school.  Once L & F left I went down the village to collect my prescription and a map for the scarecrow festival starting tomorrow. Apparently the local hairdresser is freaked out by the scarecrows at the school opposite as they appear to be staring at her!  :-)  I then called on walking friend P as she hadn’t been able to join us on our Tuesday walk.  Finally walked home at 5pm, and then had to put the shopping away!  Full on, but good day.
