Walk to Saltaire

Tine wasn't as mobile as usual during our stay in the UK, but it was a good excuse for me to get a lift back up the hill to our château in the caravan park!

Destination: Saltaire village, nestled in the Aire valley
The caravan park: no wonder we love the views from up there
And look what's new: a mud-free footpath down through the field...
...but will it be as mud-free when we visit again before Christmas?
Continuing my walk alongside the Shipley Glen tramway...
...and over the River Aire footbridge, the ducks looking for lunch on the weir... 
...and one day there's even a peckish heron.
Made it to Saltaire...
...with its bus-barges and swans.

'Don't Tell Titus' is the name of our regular coffee shop in the village and Tine's waiting there for Kate & me, showing off how she can manage without her stick!

Is this the place where I discovered Hockney years ago ?
