I'm on holiday (such as you get a holiday when you're on a boat) and so went back to sleep.
Just had croissants, butter and Apricot jam + coffee for breakfast 😋 (at lunch time!)

Decaying red brick factory walls with some unsightly graffitti rise from the canal in shade. Prefab roofing of the industrial units is lit up by the sun. A fiercely blue sky outlines the sharp angles of the buildings.
Tbh the view is not terrible, but its almost better in the dark!

A golden setting sun through trees on the horizon outlines the canal bridge in the distance. A wisp of high cottonwool high cloud set against a light blue sky is reflected in the waters of the canal. A bright green towpath and trees edge the frame.

Water is dripping from the top gate of a lock. The bricks and wood are wet. Blue sky and bright sunlight bathe the lockgate and a lone flower.
Another free Canal water feature....!

A grassy offside canal bank. The cut is ruffled by a stiff breeze. A blue sky lightens to white.
A slightly pixelated zoom into the sunlit grassy field shows two Moorhens scuttling away from the camera.
Evening cruise.
2 x Moorhens!

An old and weathered red brick bridge straddles a broad canal. In the distance, through the bridge, a patch of reeds brightened gold by the sun can be seen next to the gates of a canal lock. The edge of a narrowboat is glimpsed on the left side of the view
Happy Friday!
A lovely spot to moor up.

We thought a downside of The Butty would be lock sharing days to meet lovely new people and do our bit to conserve water were over
Yesterday paired up with a 37ft boat which fitted in the locks perfectly with us
