I spy a pirate

Today I was walking along the canal path when I found this rather natty pirate. He doesn't seem to be with a gang so perhaps he is a retired pirate!
It was so lovely and warm today that after meeting a friend for coffee I deided to have a short walk along the canal. Lots of other people (but no other pirates) seemed to have the same idea. Everybody seemed to be happy and smiling. Lets hope that this weather lasts, I know that we need the rain but lets enjoy this sunshine while we can.
