We’ve taken lots of photos over the missing blog months. The next few blogs will be themed and in no particular order. Today, there is a spotlight on wildlife and weather.
Fallen trees are a regular occurrence on our travels. So if we’re going to have a few days wait for the chaps to clear it, we just get on with crafting. I always have cake made to offer the lads with a brew when they do arrive to sort the stoppage.
This last winter (2025/26) was quite mild, with no significant ice. The previous winter however, saw us frozen in.
The autumn & spring sunrises & sunsets are stunning with the colours they cast.
We are surrounded by birds every day, but some sightings are tremendous. While moored in spring at Halsall on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal we were visited each morning by a barn owl, no doubt looking to feed a hungry family.
A little dove hitched a lift.
Apart from the water birds pecking the algae off the bottom of the boat at any time of the day & night, which sounds like a hammer!! We just love them all.
And no, I didn’t have my scissors handy to snip the alpacas fleece.
Late one evening we heard a lot of splashing & scratching on the bank side of the boat. It was a hedgehog that had fallen in. Once we’d got him out & he’d caught his breath, he scooted off into the hedge.
The moon also fascinates us.
Finally, we’ve never managed to get to that pot of gold.
