Garden and Sowerby Bridge Canal Walk

The promised improved weather took some getting here today.

I spent the morning in and out of the garden dodging the showers.

It was quite cold in a stiff breeze.

After lunch we had a drive over to Sowerby Bridge and enjoyed a walk along the canal , towards Mytholmroyd, and took in a bit of the river on the return route.

The weather had improved and it was dry with a bit of brightness.
