Cole Mere to Whitchurch

 OK so it was back to winter this morning, even had to wear my gloves! But the sun did break through for the afternoon spent walking around Whitchurch, now moored by Whitchurch junction.

I bought this jug, bucket and tray set in the antique centre

I bought them so the bucket can go under the engines governor
