Not a walk but a lovely day out with my wife and daughter and her family in the beautiful village of Hallaton, meeting family and friends again, as those who have a connection with the village return to celebrate Easter Monday at Hallaton with feasting and drinking and Bottle Kicking.
The vallage was packed and even though we arrived early we had to park way outside the village beyond the rec.
A great day Hallaton got the first two bottles over to win the best of three.
