Frosty

As forecast, we had another cold night and it was very frosty this morning.

But it was also sunny, and as I wanted to do some research for a magazine article, we walked down the canal to Whittington.  Everything was beautiful in the crisp air, and there were sections of the canal that were frozen.

As we went through Whittington, a boat came along, crashing through the ice.  It wasn’t that thick but it still makes a tremendous noise.  When we got to Whittington Bridge, we walked up into the village where the Main Street cafe was very busy; we found a table and had coffee, tea, and a toasted tea cake.  We walked back through the village to the bridge by Whittington Wharf, and back up the canal.  At Huddlesford Junction, we saw Rowington, the share boat in which my cousin Catherine and family are part owners.

This afternoon I’ve written a couple of articles and sorted out lots of photos, and Adrian has done work in his charity role.  The latest episode of The Water Road podcast is also out.  This one is about the Montgomery Canal, and can be heard by clicking here.
