One of the aqueducts we travel over. This one took us over the river Wyer. Built in 1700s

There was a pair of swans with 8 cygnets. They were checking each boat for handouts.

This boat was a coffee shop. From the tow path it served speciality coffees, pastries and dog treats

Last night's pub from the water. At one time it was a stable for the canal horses.

Beautiful scenery but scary clouds and thunder in the distance

Some parts of the canal are a little sketchy then you turn a corner and see this. So beautiful

So many cows today. We knew when they were up ahead, very fragrent

This guy was making sure we didn't get to close to the alpacas

One of the many bridges we went under today. This one originally led to a huge estate.

We lucked out and found a pub serving Sunday roast

Rainy Days and Sundays

10 settembre 2023, Inghilterra ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

We had a late start today after a pretty productive morning. We tried the galley out and had a nice breakfast on board. The galley is well laid out, the gas stove works very well and has a broiler to make toast. We walked a few blocks and picked up groceries at a well stocked Aldis. Even after including the exchange, prices were lower than home. Once the groceries were put away we started the engine and headed out. It was warm but the skies were threatening. After a couple of hours the rain started. Rain jackets and umbrellas kept us mostly dry. There is no outside shelter, so when the rain started, I put my phone away. We pulled over to wait it out and had lunch on board. When the skies cleared, we were off again. We stopped for the night at Galgate and had a proper Sunday roast at the Plowman pub.Leggi altro
