I enjoyed two little photography projects on the waterways. Here is the 1st one which is a collection of views out of the living room window on the boat.

Today's journey heading off the canal system and onto the river: https://youtu.be/-e-3DpZWTxs After 2 days of waiting for the levels of the river to fall we got the nod.
