Can you believe it, Willie and Sheila have returned from Gretna Green and, yes, you've guessed it, they've tied the knot! One of our walkers brought us some photos of their celebrations and a copy of their marriage lines. We were all pretty amazed at this news - big smiles all round!

| Willie and Sheila with the other bride and groom |
Hopefully, Willie Walker and his bride Mrs Sheila Walker, nee Foster will be joining us for our next walk, apparently they were far too busy clearing away all the confetti to join us this week.
Back to this week's walk - it was a lovely dry day and after a bit of chatter at Cosby Village Hall car park we decided to start our walk from Bouskell Park in Blaby.
At Bouskell Park we had a bit of a delayed start as two walkers had not arrived from Cosby. We waited for ten minutes or so, tried to phone as well, but no luck. At about ll o'clock we decided that there must have been some been some misunderstanding about our meeting point so we finally set off from the park, passing through the pine wood, out near the cemetery along Mill Lane towards Crow Mills. Here we joined the canal tow path and continued to Kilby Bridge.
As you can see from the map it's a pretty straight walk with not many turns.
There was plenty of activity on the canal as far as the swans and ducks were concerned but no canal boats at all. We guessed the owners had decided to dock and bed down for the winter.
We soon got to the Navigation Inn at Kilby Bridge. It was here that we discovered what had happened to our friends who hadn't turned up at Bouskell Park - they'd gone straight to Kilby - yes, a communication problem! Realising what had happened they decided on their own walk from Kilby which they enjoyed but unfortunately they missed out on meeting up with our group for coffee and tea which was great, especially as it was served with chocolates. Yum, yum.

It was a great day out with plenty of excitement. What will next week bring? See you all then.
