Dew wet.
The ducks are all
Around the boats.
Robin song among old branches.
Mushrooms gently shoulder
Leaf mould and new growth green.
A heron lands and then
Fades out of sight
Into the autumnal landscape.

Great progress at Darnford Moors Ecolgy Park this week - they backfilled the towpath wall with concrete, and started filling the offside blocks too.
Brilliant teamwork!
#ThrowbackThursday to Autumn 2024, a moment that captured everything we stand for — accessibility, community, and joy on the water 🌊 We’re proud to make our beautiful waterways a place everyone can enjoy together #ThursdayMood #Charity #BoatHire #GrandUnionCanal #UKcanals #AccessibleBoating
Lovely narrowboat for sale ... #UKCanals
At Gallows Reach, volunteers have had a productive couple of days.
They dug out for the next 5 m pad and concreted it, and then cleared the following 8 m section.
Our volunteer housekeeping/maintenance team are always hard at work on a Wednesday morning down at the base. Busy with boat checks, painting, fixing things, cleaning to name just a few things! We are so lucky to have such a dedicated team of volunteers! #Volunteers #Charity #BoatHire #UKcanals
We are hopeful that our refurbished narrowboat will be available for group bookings in 2027. Are you part of a group that would like to come and experience our part of the Montgomery Canal and the wonderful borderlands between #Oswestry and Y Trallwng (Welshpool)? #Shropshire #Cymru #UKCanals
Here's hoping that the accessible boat in Llanymynech is refurbished and water returns for trips next year. #UKCanals
It's great to see our volunteers happy in their work.
Walk softly,
Tiptoe past.
Don't stare,
Don't fill the air
With needless noise.
Your presence is enough.
Cool Heron up on the tree.
Obviously it left righ after I raised the camera so it's the only photo...

I don’t normally share this type of thing, but I think this is worth a look and I have signed. #UKCanals #UKRivers #RiverThames
Can anyone help us move a 12ft x 12ft container (a bit like this one) between two of our sites?
If you have suitable transport / lifting equipment (or know someone who does) we’d be grateful for your support. 🙏
Today is #GratitudeDay and we want to say a big thank you to ALL our volunteers for everything they do. The commitment and dedication shown by our volunteers is what makes us special 💙 #MondayMood #BoatHire #Volunteers #MakeADifference #Charity #Herts #Community #UKCanals
