lol.

Could you imagine if they did? They would be greeted with waved fists and shouts of ‘slow down’ and ‘You can’t moor there mate!’

Funny but true.

Three photos on a damp wall. One is crooked the words Mayfly 1994 show in the subtitles

A darkened bedroom with several items scattered around including an electric blanket and a heater

With the #demo of Mayfly finally live on #steam:

I am free to focus on ACTUALLY FINISHING THE GAME!! 🥳

The boat gets a little darker in the second scene, so you’ll need one of these 🔦

Just a heron doing @everyheron.bsky.social things at Borrowcop Locks Canal Park. 🪶

It's taking life one slow, deliberate step at a time while the rest of us rush around like headless chickens.

Artemis 2 space capsule splashes down in the Shropshire Union Canal! They were lucky to miss the trees. All crew are reported safe. Rescue narrowboats have been dispatched and will be there in an hour or two! 😉 #UKCanals #narrowboat #canal #artemis #nasa

Campbell Robb left, on the stern of a narrowboat in discussion with a volunteer from the wharf

We were pleased to welcome Campbell Robb, Chief Executive of the Canal & River Trust to Llanymynech Canal Wharf this afternoon. #UKCanals #WeDigCanals

Damnit, with my laptop having keeled over and gone to the great recycling depot in the sky, I can't even check this out properly yet 😭
Let alone buy and play this game, that I am rabidly hankering after, once it's released 😭
As soon as I can replace it, THIS is the game I'm buying!

Photo of a narrowboat about to pass under a modern road bridge on a tree-lined canal, with Canal and River Trust canoes tied up to the offside in the foreground.

Birmingham & Warwick Junction Canal, one of the later canals not completed until 1844, long after canal mania had subsided and just as railway mania was beginning to get up a head of steam.

Orange cat looking out through and slightly reflecting in a pane of acrylic with a canal on the other side.

Photo from inside of a narrowboat looking at the canal with some ducks. The hatch looks open but there is a pane of acrylic in it.

First inspection of a new removable acrylic panel for the duck hatch.
Still need to add handles but that's for tomorrow.

Photo looking down a wide-ish canal, water has slight ripples but is otherwise still, showing the calmness of the early morning. The sun is up, hazy and distant but already with a warm glow over the fields to the canal side. There's an old (1930's-ish) working boat in the middle distance, moored and with smoke coming from the chimney, drifting to the north. The towpath is grassy and dry - heaven!

Seems quite a while ago now (was a long day!) but here's an early morning shot looking east on the Wardle canal #UKCanals #Canal

Pencil style drawing of a stone bridge which curls to the left, the pathway passing underneath itself as it allows horses to cross the canal without being untied from their barge. In the background are cottages and trees

I couldn't resist doing a quick drawing of this turnover bridge I passed on my way past Marple Junction last week, where the Peak Forest and Macclesfield Canals meet #canals #cycling #UKCanals

Best part of narrowboat life? Mooring your house close to some amazing English sights. We had the opportunity to tour the beautiful All Souls College while in Oxford and get this unique picture with the Radcliffe Camera!

Work being done on car park

We're having a bit of work done in the car park. In the wet weather we've experienced muddy water running down the car park. The work being done will help catch the water and redirect it away from the car park 👍💦😀 #Charity #Boathire #TuesdayMood #Ukcanals #Community

Creativity on the #ukcanals is one of my favourite aspects of our waterways.
