29 April Sometimes you just need some time to yourself, having taken a couple of days off work to benefit from a long weekend I took myself off to the Kennet & Avon, a lovely day weather-wise was forecast. I packed a very old Nicholson's, and set out from Semmington. Lots of green, spring flowers and hedgerows bursting with life. It took me an hour and a half to reach here - the Caen Hill lock flight

I had a lovely light lunch in the café near the top, and just took in the view, what a perfect day. Martin and I have worked this flight a couple of times, even been stopped here mid flight to await repairs to a lock gate that had been lifted off its hinges by a wide beam in front of us. Suitably refreshed it was time to return to Semmington.

And the reflection, a lovely day with my own thoughts and to remember my dad.
