a heron

Had a slightly emotional morning, a cake-in here in MK to celebrate my retirement. One of the pleasures of my job is the great people I've got to work with over the past 24.5 years. And saying goodbye to many that I won't come across again because of geography is quite difficult. Not that I'm regretting the retirement.

Went off to lunch with a colleague who is retiring on the same day, and someone we've worked with over the last few years. On the way back along the canal, this heron kindly posed for us to take photos.

Back to Scotland tomorrow if the rails haven't been washed away.
