No prizes for guessing where we are (or at least where this photograph was taken) - a town we’ve both got to know very well - Kidderminster. Back on the southern part the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal.

Somewhat quiet lately – ageing is a miserable, merciless experience 🤒 – but some wonderful old company today on the Dudley No. 1 Canal 😀

Taken today, we’re on the Birmingham & Fazeley canal, by Minworth. Our plans of travelling on the Tame Valley canal have been curtailed due to a lock out of commission. So we’re heading to the Aston & Farmers locks. #Birds

Good morning - there many benefits of living on a narrowboat; this is one of them, waking up to make coffee and look out of the window to see this view!

Living on a narrowboat on the waterways of the UK means we live very close to nature, absolutely ideal as I’m a keen photographer.
