Along the towpath

Last weekend we visited Waltham Abbey. Sometimes it's good to check out the local places, as its amazing how many times you think to yourself that's just around the corner and I never went there.

Apparantly King Harold lies there - yep the chap with the arrow in his eye, apart from that there are the remains of the monastery - that's Suri next to a wooden monk - which really does need a bit of TLC before it starts to rot away - the monk of course I mean, as Suri gets lots of TLC.

We went into the old Abbey, there was a service going on when we arrived so we wandered off into the old orchard, there were apples and pears everywhere and they were amazingly sweet, and not a slug to found anywhere, I couldn't believe it 'cos when the apples fall off of Suri's tree there seems to be an army of slugs just waiting for them to drop.

After Waltham Abbey we went to Lea Valley Country Park just down the road, had a cup of tea and then wandered along the towpath, it was really quite busy, and I sort of helped out at one of the locks - basically I leant against it and helped push back the gate. You can see Suri here near the lock.

All in all a lovely day.

Soon be off to Korea, just started a bit of packing, so all being well should be ready on time.

I hope to be able to do a bit of bloggin when I am there so check the blog out from time to time.
