Only four walkers today but we had a dry walk. The walk started in the centre of Shottery. Soon passing the primary school dates back to 1848 but we felt the building was much older. As we took a team photo outside the school there was some discussion as to if the local lass Anne Hathaway (Shakespear’s wife not the Actress) might have attended the school.
We passed the racecourse and then into the town. The walk then took us alongside the canal where we paused to watch a nesting Swan organising the eggs in the nest.
After 4 miles we arrived back at The Bell pub in time for lunch. All was going well until halfway through his pie Richard was wondering why he could not see any chicken in his pie and realised they had given the mushroom pie by mistake. He reported that the pie was still good.
