I'm afraid unsteady hands and an inability to master the Ninja walk will be evident in some of these clips.
But I enjoyed a lovely sunny walk around this  busy historic town in middle England.

Thanks Depp. I cut a fair bit of footage as it was too shaky.

That's a very impressive-looking place :-) As for the shakiness and the ninja walk, don't be too harsh on yourself. Those can prove difficult to any of us, and yet that doesn't prevent us from enjoying these great old-timey sights you caught here.

It is an attractive old town. Lots of history dating back to the Saxon era.

I didn't spot one on my wanderings, but I bet you're right. There's the covered market hall which I didn't go in.

Those little covered markets are usually good for free samples.

I’m in the dog house over cheese.    I put Brie cubes (without rind) in a salad at the weekend.

Not my favourite either - but it's hardly a crime worthy of such punishment

It was left over from making cordon bleu a few days ago and she didn’t complain about me using it then.

I very much hope to visit England someday. Nicely done.

Regarding the “shakiness”, I bet you noticed it more than anyone watching. Please post more towns like this!

Brings me out on the deck to enjoy the sun and light breeze coming off the water.  Afterwards, a nice ride on the eBike.  

However, I'm seeing rain forecast for this afternoon so best I get outdoors this morning.

Residents' meeting with the Management Company this morning.  A walk up the trail this afternoon to bag the last Geograph of a circuit around the valley. Caught by the rain at th end but made a dash for the bus and avoided a wetting.   No drone or Pocket2 footage today.  Tomorrow looks bleak as well.

Enjoy. It's windy and damp here. Managed to fit it a brisk walk along the trail between showers.

Always a great time to walk following a shower.  Rain gets rid of that pollen in the air for sure.
