Sometimes we sits and thinks 1 September - Naux-aux-Forges to Tréveray

Tréveray was even by our standards an almost ridiculously small distance to travel in a day, not the smallest we’d travelled this year, but not much more than a hop, step and a jump none the less.

Yet here we were, tucked quietly on a gentle bend of the canal with the urge to continue having entirely faded away, replaced by an even stronger urge to sit in the sun for a bit and perhaps go for a long walk through the countryside.  

So we walked for half a score of kilometres, and had some lunch before deciding that we hadn’t sat watching the view for quite long enough.

We were still sitting, come to think of it, when the sun went down.
