Chirk Viaduct to the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, plus a very dark tunnel in between—here’s what to expect and what I learned along the way.

Color film photo of a boat going down a Venetian canal. It's one of the vessels used by the city sanitation department to collect garbage (old Venice is a car free area). Her hull is lime green, with a galvanized metal structure. A couple of signs say "Keep Venice clean"

Happy Easter from Wendy and Laurence. While we didn’t bring chocolate we did bring a narrowboat moment from the Oxford Canal!

After the picture description, l have written a poem inspired by this scene. Our monochromatic picture has a soft, slightly blurred background that gives it a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere. In the foreground, sharply in focus, there is a metal mooring bollard fixed into a stone or concrete edge. The bollard is dark, sturdy, and slightly weathered, with bolts anchoring it in place. Its rounded top is lighter in colour, worn smooth, and marked with a dark circular spot. Around it, the ground is rough and textured, with patches of grass creeping along the edge. Beyond the bollard, the scene gently fades out of focus. A still canal stretches across the middle of the image, its surface smooth like glass. The water reflects the buildings on the opposite bank, creating a soft mirror image that blends into the ripples. Across the canal, a row of modern apartment buildings stands in muted tones. Their balconies and windows are visible but softened by the blur, making them feel distant and quiet. Above them, a cloudy sky hangs low, filled with layered, heavy clouds that add a sense of stillness and perhaps a hint of melancholy. The composition draws your attention first to the solid, grounded bollard, then lets your gaze drift into the softer, reflective distance of the water and buildings. And finally our picture is finished with a white border frame. And now for my poem. I call it…The world seems small. A quiet post beside the flow, Where passing boats once paused below, Now stands in stillness, worn and sure, A keeper of the calm and pure. The water holds a softened dream, Of distant walls and silvered gleam, While clouds press low in muted grey, And time drifts slowly, far away. No voices call, no footsteps near, Just echoes only memory hears And in that hush, the world seems small, Reflected, fading… yet holding all.
Morning #BlueSky ☕️ “The World Seems Small” is the title of the poem in the #AltText .
May it bring you all closer together. Have a beautiful day friends ☺️

The "gusts of wind" in the weather forecast were so loud, they woke me up. Roaring.
Also, waves slapping the hull and dishes clinking as the boat moves.
I fear for my chimney and its rain hat. (I know what it's actually called, but since I assume that term has a racist derivation, so rain hat […]
Bridge and reflections on Grand union canal
A gorgeous photo of reflections on the Grand Union Canal. We are so lucky to spend every day out on the water, along the beautiful Grand Union Canal 💙🌊 thank to our wonderful volunteer Steve for the photo 📸🌟 #Volunteer #Canal #GrandUnionCanal #Ukcanals #Reflections #SaturdayMood #Charity #Boathire

Tree stopped play on the Llangollen two years ago.
And today, day 1294, on the feisty edges of Storm Dave, I'm listening to the branches of trees next to my boat clacking together like the bones of skeletons 🫣🌬️🍃🛥️

A brass toilet lock with a dial that says VACANT. It's mounted on an oak door that has an angled edge. This angled door, when it swings open, will clear the angled cabin wall. (The walls on a narrowboat typically angle inward. This is called the "tumble".)
There's an old-fashioned Vacant/Occupied dial on the boat's toilet door. It's angled. When it swings open, it clears the tumble (inward slant) of the cabin wall.
The shower is in a walk-through room. Its wood doors don't lock. In an emergency, I want […]

At the stern hatch of a boat, a hand and thumb push a brass sliding bolt into its slot chiselled into an oak block. The block is attached to the overhead hatch. Most of the boat interior is oak wood, and the metal parts are brass. Along the upper-left edge of the hatch there's a door sweep, mounted upside down to keep out spiders.
For the stern hatch, I bought much larger, sturdier, brass sliding bolts.
Oak is hard wood, so it took a chisel and mallet, drill, hacksaw, and screwdriver to mount them. But it wasn't difficult.
Opening the hatch takes only 2 seconds—faster than I […]

Good morning, truly hoping everyone is enjoying their long Bank Holiday weekend (hopefully not too badly affected by Dave) - a couple of photographs I took during Buster the Boat Dog's walk this morning.

I've been thinking about security. I need some bigger, stronger latches.
I think the culprit must have been interrupted by a passer-by.
Nothing was stolen but I can't think of another reason why I found the current latches broken.

Moved from Rode Heath on the T&M (incl Heartbreak Hill) and onto the Wardle canal. 20 locks, 10 miles, strong winds, sunshine and rain. Single handed. Now tired. #Canal #UKCanals

If you’ve ever wondered how you get from there to here, check out our video showing the five year journey it took to continuously cruise the English Canals!
Whatever advice we have is in the video for those thinking of doing the same!
