Messing about in the river......

Couldn't resist this iconic shot, the river Leven at Great Ayton was overrun with fishing nets and buckets, I think the fish had long gone, but it was so nice to see a simple pleasure still enjoyed......

Thank you all for your comments and favs which put yesterday's summer photo on the PP and trending pages. It was a lovely surprise!
