At the locks at Heakley Hall and Baddeley Green, I noticed several wall-like sculptures. There was no sign, so I don't know anything about the artist, date, materials or title of the works.

Here's a photo of one of them.

It's nonstop birds and hawthorns in bloom, out here in the middle of nowhere, clear of the industrial outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent.

Spring on the Caldon canal seems to be a few weeks behind the rest of the midlands, judging by what's blooming and the size of moorhen chicks and goose goslings.

We boated through a big honkfest today, on the Caldon canal. The geese were honking before, during and after our passage through what was clearly disputed water. They had a lot to say to each other, with their head bobbing and their hissy necks. I saw no goslings or nests.

By the way, seeing this interaction TOTALLY explains the expression "silly goose".
