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.

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!

#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

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" 😂

With miles of beautiful British waterways to explore, why not take a walk along your local canal and enjoy the nature and scenery around you. A simple walk along the towpath can be a great way to relax & boost your well-being 🌿 #Towpath #Canal #Charity #UKCanals
