Geoff, John, Jenny, Mary, Geraldine, Benji

We set off to walk to the remembrance spot, along the river bank. John takes the pics

I said to Mum: "Now you cannot fall, walk like you are nineteen". She said, "I'll run then!"

Way to Go! As far as you can see along the treeline to the right of the picture, and then some! 

Benji quickly took off up the slope to the left, chasing rabbits.

Looking back the way we came, footprints on the frosted grass

A long shot

Looks like the KGB are coming!

Oooh! It's tough!

crossing the stream on a narrow stone ledge

"It's down there!"

A moment to remember

We brought some flowers

A bonny spot, no wonder they liked to picnic here

Even on a winter day, it's tranquil

John with flowers

The flowers

Geoff writes a message to his Dad in the sand

the message

the water is beautiful

Back to the New Inn for a cup of tea before going our separate ways.

Benji's in charge!

Job well done!
