Canal walk by Lapworth




We had not done this walk for years! I don't know why as it's lovely walking along the canal, but there you go... A sunny day, so what better way to spend it than walking near water.




We drove to Lapworth, parked, and started walking.




 A lot more boats moored in this basin than we remembered







Very quiet and still




The garden of this cottage is full, absolutely full, of chrysanthemums later in the year - a most spectacular display




I love the roofs of the canal cottages on this stretch










Looking back at the cottage we just passed














By this moored boat




we saw this figure. For a split second, seeing it from behind,  I thought it was a real person




Very clever and great fun




Yet another bridge




wonderful reflections on the water








another boat




an isolated cottage




it's so peaceful here and tranquil




mermerised by the reflections




yet another cottage




We eventually turned around and retraced our steps




and came across a boat trying to negotiate the lock




over the bridge, and after a while we ended up where we'd started from.
