At the End of the Path

On the map the path just seems to end in the middle of nowhere. A bit odd. What's that all about. The remains of a fairly substantial building are here in the middle of a small wood. The only part remaining of any stature is the old chimney stack, usually the strongest part of a building. You can see it must have had two storeys, with a loft above. So not just an old shed. Anyway, that's where the footpath goes, although actually it looks like people wander on right down to the river at the bottom. Well, nobody's going to see that notice, are they.

It's all at Asda

Two cheese and onion rolls, a Fish Licence and a can of Carlsberg please. I wonder if they do those orange half price stickers when the season's coming to an end.
