I used to share so many of our canalside walks on here when we had the dogs. It's just not the same without them. There's no little companion to talk to and to stop for a while and drink in nature while they sniff and explore what must be so many glorious scents for doggy noses.
It all feels a bit flat ... but it is beautiful.
There were lots of little clumps of bluebells in the long shaggy grass.
It's sad to see all these new houses in what were until very recently vast swathes of green fields. The people that live on these boats are going to feel very overlooked in the near future.
Just how our schools and the single doctors practice that our town has, are going to cope with yet another influx of new people I really don't know. This new development has hundreds and hundreds of houses and flats along the length of the A6 and going way back into what was all farmland.
Heading back for home it made me realise that I will miss the proximity of the canal when we move. It always feels calm and green, especially if I head away from the new houses and the noise of the builders.

New houses in my village still 50% unsold, 3 years after they started. In BiL's village they stopped building, left many unfinished open to the weather. 70 more due to be started here in the Autumn. It's a mad world.
ReplyDeleteWe’re the same in our town and it’s a real problem with services as you say. You’ll make your new garden your place of calm I’m sure and you will be sitting in it this time next year. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThe bluebells round here have been lovely this year.
