Rain dancing

This morning we arrived at the MOT test centre first thing and waited while our ageing truck was given it's annual health check. Funny how I don't mind making the payment in return for a pass certificate and yet for a failure it feels rather like being mugged, fortunately today all was OK and we departed with that most precious print out. We then made our way to Welshpool and took a leisurely stroll around the town, walking only on the sunny side of the street, we bought fish and chips and made our way back to the car park to indulge in our treat. We were parked close to the canal, (incidentally, motorhomes can stay here overnight for free, 1 night in 7) where a number of ducks were splashing about and showing off as if enjoying the sunshine. I picked up my camera and with greasy fingers fumbled to change lenses, I had to try and get a shot of the back lit frolics that were being so skillfully displayed. I tripped on the dog in my haste to get out of the door but thankfully recovered well enough not to damage camera or my body. I managed to get a couple of shots off before a little girl caused a duck stampede by throwing in handfuls of bread. Happy enough, I went back inside to finish eating my lunch.
