Photo from the stern end of NB FULLY RESTFUL, moored on a lovely grassy (no mud!) towpath, with armco, and flat fields stretching into the distance, where a (Avanti West Coast) train runs across a low-ish viaduct. The late afternoon sun lends a warm shine to the photo.
Nice spot on the Wardle canal (aka Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union canal) #UKCanals #Canal

Photo of a canal on a late sunny afternoon with a brick pub next to a towpath lined with pub benches and, in the distance, a lock and small bridge.
Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, Curdworth Lock 9, Cheatles Farm Bridge and the Dog and Doublet, all dating back to the late 18th century (the canal was completed 1789, just before canal mania swept the British landscape).

Photo of a fuel boat turning off the Coventry Canal to head down the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. The narrowboat is 70ft long and came in from the left, a tight turn on the best of days, and a real challenge when the wind didn't want the boat to turn and tried its best to wedge it across the canal.
The most excellent Jules Fuels NB Bargus, which has been an absolute angel over the last four months supplying me with coal, fuel and a tow, at Fazeley Junction on the Coventry Canal.

As we hunker down under Storm Dave you might well wonder where Spring has gone! The old idea of borrowing days helps us navigate the 'untidyness' that often accompanies the changes in the seasons.

A sunny canal‑side garden with narrowboats moored along the water. A white house with a dark roof sits on the right, with gazebos and people gathered for an outdoor event. A small arched footbridge crosses a stream leading into the canal. The garden has benches, plants, and a greenhouse, surrounded by lush greenery.
People gather outdoors beside a canal, standing near tables with displays and items for sale. A white building marked “Whittington Wharf” is behind them. A narrowboat is moored to the right, and a brick bridge and trees frame the background. The scene is a lively community event.
People sit and stand under a blue gazebo in a garden beside a white house. A table with cups is in the centre, and attendees in warm clothing chat and relax during an outdoor community event.
Two people stand at an outdoor display board about the Lichfield Canal. One, wearing a pink safety vest, points to a map while the other looks on. A table nearby holds mugs and small toy animals in safety vests.
What a day at Eric’s Easter Garden Party - blue skies, full crowds, and incredible support!
We sold out of cakes and almost all the BBQ, and early totals show around £1,000 raised for the Lichfield Canal. Six new members joined us too.
Thank you, everyone!

Photo of the front half of a narrowboat against the towpath, the canal a short distance ahead blocked by a fallen tree
#Boatlife day 489
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 🫣🌬️🍃🛥️

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!

A summer day, freshened by light showers. The bow of the Erica can just be seen round a bend in the canal. She is (rightly) dwarfed by the dense green foliage and magenta flair of loosestrife. In the foreground a mother mallard shepherds two of her ducklings.
The canal doesn't choose
Who will come and enjoy
Its waters
But it does choose
Those who will stay.

We have a video dropping today, special in a few ways. It’s our five-year journey; from the first time we laid eyes on this thing they call a ‘narrowboat’ to landing in the UK with all our worldly possessions to become continuous cruisers.
Look for it this afternoon!!!!

Cheers for the quote post. I don't usually use that hashtag unless there is water in the photo I post. Perhaps I should use:
" #UKCanals to be" 😂
