Kayaking

Well I had decided to get up at 5am but in the end with me not getting more than 3 hours kip it was put back to 7am wake up. Seemed to take ages to get out as we had forgotten how to do the straps on the kayaks! You know when you get a mental block....well we both had that so we got out about 10am but our spot we went to before had no parking spaces left so we had to find somewhere else to drop them in. It was looking doubtful if wed get out in them as we were already behind schedule! Then found a place but there was not far enough to go any distance between locks. As we have not yet mastered getting in and out without looking like walruses we just paddled about for a couple of hours in the sun....(and hail). I saw a gorgeous couple of birds of prey ( A Kite and a Buzzard) but as I got camera out they had buggered off!  Later I saw a bird Id not seen before and now looked it up to find it was a Grey Wagtail (In extras)

Got out (Neither of us fell in) (Although don't try lifting a 20KG boat out by bending lower than the waist, by yourself)!!! and got home to get ready for a meal out at Miller and Carter!!!!! OMG I've never eaten such wonderful top notch food in my life! 

Extras iphone shots and the Wagtail ....oh and the Moon (54.8% First Quarter)tonight at 7:42pm!!!
