A Walk Around Newport Riverfront

Today has been really quiet and spent updating and downloading some programs on my laptops, and looking after my sons dog who's incredibly well behaved.

I needed to drop a letter off to a former colleague, who lives in Newport, to book a retirement dinner meet in June. On the way back I decided on a circular walk around Newport River Front.
