The Real Ravensthorpe from Assassin's Creed | English Country Walk

It's tradition when I come back to the UK to go for a walk around Ravensthorpe Reservoir in Northamptonshire which is where we used to walk our dogs when I was a kid. This time we're here in summer, so plenty of things to see, including swans, fish, and hundreds of little blue dragonflies. Let me show you around. Another strange fact about the reservoir is that Ravensthorpe makes an appearance in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. In the game they say it's 'south of Leicester' which is accurate, although there is also a Ravensthorpe in West Yorkshire. Interesting to know.
🤭 Oops, I keep calling them dragonflies. Apparently they're damselflies.
🥾 Update 25 July 2024: My family just went for a walk around the reservoir today and said they've put in drainage and a new path surface where it used to be really muddy, and now you can walk there no problem.

who doesn't like butter??? lol

[@writerinrwanda]

After I posted that, I remembered another saying which says that if it glows under your chin, you're in love. That sounds more folkloric. I guess they tell the butter one to children and the love one to adults.

@@writerinrwanda I'd only heard the love version, lol
