someone’s got their chimney lit, cold down your way is it?

I’m still sweating cobs up here. 

It is a bit chilly out side just now.  We will look forward to some evening warmth when we get to Birmingham  on Wednesday

Later that day [20Aug2016] at Spinks Bridge Walsall Canal. Takes longer with a pole and no weedhatch.

 

The Bromford pause was just for the photo iirc. There may have been CAKE, but then again memory and old age have one toll island fading into another ... 🙂
