After heavy rain overnight coupled with the current fuel crises we decided to stay local using hard surfaces.
Rain or sun sun today?
Just approaching Narborough.
A very excited person finds one of those Leicestershire foxes.
So we all posed to mark the occasion. The foxes are all over Leicestershire - no doubt we'll find more.
Not a fox exactly but this handsome chap is worthy of a mention. 
Over the busy B4114 on the way to Enderby Leisure Centre.
Coffee and teas at the cafeteria in the Leisure Centre. Not too busy, just as we like it.
Another fox right outside the Leisure Centre
On the way back through to Littlethorpe.
Over the railway bridge this time.
So busy taking photos we missed the |train.
In Littlethorpe we spotted a Victorian stink pipe.
For info: Always made from cast iron and usually painted grey or green, stinkpipes look a bit like street lamps at ground level. There are some tell-tale signs to differentiate them, though; stinkpipes tend to be taller (6-8 m) and wider (15cm) than most of the other poles found on residential streets.
They’re also hollow, so if you suspect it’s a stinkpipe, give it a knock, or check for an opening at the top.
Other than that, stinkpipes don’t come in a standard form. Some look a bit utilitarian, but many display the types of features that only Victorians would think to add to a piece of street furniture: fluted columns around the bottom, studded rings and even a rose or two. If you’re very lucky, you might even spot one crowned with gold.
This one seems to have shrunk.
Gardens still very much in bloom.
Nearing the end of our walk, we came across this shocking litter dumping, some selfish people have no respect whatsoever.
Back to Cosby.
