Day 3 – Messing about in boats…

The Shropshire Union Canal runs close by our house, and it’s a great place for a walk. These two boats are frequently to be seen, selling coal, wood and diesel fuel to other boat owners along the canal, although at this time of year there are very few boats to be seen. Life goes on though…

Day 1 – Time for a quick drink…

Damp and miserable weather meant our New Year’s Day walk didn’t get going until lunchtime, but we made up for it with a diversion to the pub. There’s nothing like a pint of Slumbering Monk at The Red Lion. What’s not to like?

Here we go – 2019 beckons…

Well, it’s almost 2019, and I figure a photo project is in order for the New Year. My plan (and as they say, ‘the best laid plans….’ and all that) is to start a 365 project – ie post a new photograph every single day.

Let’s kick off with a New Year’s Eve photo – this spot is on our daily walk, and we call it ‘The 39 Steps’ – it is indeed 39 steps up to the canal bank from the road that runs under the aqueduct, and it’s a pretty steep climb!

Happy New Year!
