My World (12)

Continuing our walk along Granthams Canal - Taking in the plant life - A little rest - leaning on the fence and just gazing around -


Until we reach the Watering Hole - The Dirty Duck. We take our pint outside and watch -






The graceful swans on the Canal.




Grantham Canal to be continued at a later date. - Next week - we visit Belvoir Castle for an outside concert with Catherine Jenkins.... so hope to see you all there?.


My world and Skywatch - Goes hand in hand.


The Team = Klaus - Sandy - Ivar - Wren - Fishing Guy - Louise.

  12. Now that's a lovely walk culminating in a little time at the pub. The Dirty Duck is a fine name for such establishment I believe. Out here, there is a Mallard Room, which is a watering hole as well. Now why are these establishments named after ducks?????
