Having drifted into retirement when we moved here in 2017, I seem to have drifted back into freelancing, this time for Canal Boat. There's a piece in this month, another in Oct/Nov, one submitted today and another planned for later in the year. Doesn't pay a fortune but will go towards the next bit of boat refitting. #CanalBoat #boating #Freelance # Writing

Tonight has been beer and pub dinner, and then G&Ts and a little whisky back at the boat. Saw a heron on the walk back too, very cool #canal #canalboat

Video of the canal boat grounding incident.

We finally got back to where we started in Llangollen where we said our good-byes and drove home.
For those who don't know Bob, well, neither did I until after we got to Llangollen and found them in a charity shop. Bob came to join us on a 'Bears Tweet Up' and had a lovely time looking at things and waving at people on the towpath.

It has gotten very narrow, the boat is bumping both sides at once.
Still a way to go yet. Canal boats are not very fast, fortunately.
We went over the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct. It's a long way down!
