More from St. Albans

This future scheduling did not work so here I am just back from Janie's and hoping it will post.

Having a go at a 'future scheduled post'. If you are reading this then it has worked! As we are cat sitting again I thought you might like to join me on a walk we did in May the last time we were cat sitting. There is another walk with much history of this lovely city under 'walking' on my sidebar.

One of the two cats we are looking after, a brother and sister who are difficult to photo together



We begin our walk in the centre of town with the cathedral tower in the background

Down the hill

Turning right past a pretty house

These are for Elizabeth at 'My House in Marrakesh'

Ducks sitting on a pavement outside a restaurant

Part of the old Roman wall

Cathedral popping up in the background again between a gap in the wall

Walking past a stream

Managed to photo one of dozens of rabbits

See we have nearly come full circle
