All of this was my late father's playground. He grew up on the opposite side of the Haigh Plantations many years ago, and when he was alive, he would bring his two collies down here because 'nothing had changed that much'
It was cooler now, and if I could have gotten away with it, I would have somehow pulled my sleeves down over my hands as the evening temperature prepared for dusk. Forgetting that it's still Spring and not summer, I was almost benighted as I peddled the six miles home, my front L.E.D. lighting up a spiral section of towpath whilst the decreasing chill clipped at my ears. |
