Oakley Wood and Hatton Locks

Saturday was the 30th anniversary of when Mum died. John was away for the weekend, but I met Paul at Oakley Wood Crematorium at 11.30. We walked for an hour around the paths set in very nice woodland, very quiet on a Saturday - no funerals taking place. We stopped to chat at various points and laid some flowers under the trees.

Then it was off for lunch. Paul had suggested a pub called the Waterman outside Warwick and near a canal. It was glorious weather, chilly but sunny and blue skies, so after lunch we walked from the pub to a flight of locks on the canal. Hatton Locks are an attractive tourist spot with good walks along the towpath. I think that Mum and Dad must have visited here when they lived in Kenilworth.
