The last day of the month, and looking through the photo file on my computer I realised that I hadn't shared these canal walk photos on the blog at all. They were taken about two weeks ago before the frosty and very windy weather turned up.
It was just a lovely peaceful walk along the canal first thing in the morning with Mavis. Alan was working away so we got out nice and early when the world along the canal was still coming to life, but still calm and quiet.
The sun was still coming up, and although it was cold it was beautiful.
There was one boater starting his engine and untying his ropes, but apart from him and one other dog walker with a pair of Labradors we saw no-one at all.
Smoke streamed out of some of the boats as the occupants lit fires in their log burners, and there was the hum of water pumps as others had showers or washed pots. It was just the daily morning rituals of life on the canal, and it was so peaceful.
Then we walked round the bend, climbed the old stone steps and headed for home.
I turned round for one last photo, but with Mavis eager to get home and have her 'after walk gravy bone' and my need of coffee, it was a brief glance and then we headed for home and the warmth of the house.
See you tomorrow for the first day of December and the start of Blogmas.

Lovely, 🥰
ReplyDeleteI miss that magic time when you are out early and it feels like you almost have the whole world (or tow path) to yourself.
Lovely photos - you are very lucky to live by water - for the ever changing scene and the reflections - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely post. Very calm and tranquil. Thank you it is great to get out for an early walk and see and hear the day starting. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI loved both the photos an magical description of your early morning walks. Our friends live on the banks of the Hatherton Canal in an old tollkeepers cottage, it's an idyllic location! xxx
