Good morning - there many benefits of living on a narrowboat; this is one of them, waking up to make coffee and look out of the window to see this view!

Can you help us take down the “being” restored from this sign?

Join us for as little as £10 a year - no digging required.

You’ll get our magazine, e‑news, access to our FB group, and you’ll help show funders the support behind the restoration.

A weathered white metal signpost stands against a clear blue sky. The embossed text reads “Huddlesford Jnc – Being Restored By – Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust,” with the arrow pointing to the right.

A desultory grey day,
Heron scolded and dripping.

I float my anxieties on still waters
But find it difficult to let them go.

Sometimes, there are
No burning bushes.
Only the squabble of ducks
And the miracle of sloe.

The canal invites
Me in to its silence.

Feel the damp air. Can you smell the scent of damp earth and atill water? The air is clammy and holds you like a rejected lover. Reach up. Feel the rain wet branch of blackthorn. Those little orbs, are like small universes, night dark. Their fruit sweet and sharp. Roll one on your tongue. This is the taste of life.

A huge thank you to Amy for these fantastic photos from your recent trip. Looks like you all had a wonderful day out on the water, taking in the beautiful surroundings and helping us steer the boat 💙🌊🌳 #SundayMood #Charity #Boathire #LifesBetterByWater #Ukcanals #Community #MakingMemories

Did you know that our visitor centre is adjacent to not one but three long distance walks? If you are lucky enough to be walking Offa's Dyke, Wat's Way or the Shropshire Way and we are open, do come in and say hello. #UKCanals #Shropshire

Our Green and Grounds team and DofE volunteers carried on Saturday after Thursday’s corporate group ran out of time.

They tidied the Falkland Road bund, planted hedging, tackled brambles and cut the grass.

Top work, team! 👏🌱

#WeDigCanals #Lichfield #UKCanals

Three people in high‑visibility vests work on a grassy roadside area. One volunteer bends down using a shovel to dig into the ground while others stand nearby observing. Houses, parked vehicles, and an open field are visible in the background.

Two volunteers wearing bright yellow vests marked “VOLUNTEER” clear branches and vegetation in an overgrown wooded area. One holds a rake while the other lifts cut branches. Dry leaves and twigs cover the ground, with a wooden fence behind them.

A person in a fluorescent yellow vest operates a red heavy‑duty mower, cutting tall grass in a residential field. They wear ear protection, and trimmed grass is visible behind the machine. Modern brick houses and a blue car are in the background.

A person wearing an orange helmet with ear protection, a face shield, gloves, and a high‑visibility vest uses a brush cutter to trim overgrown grass near a wooden fence. A road with vehicles and industrial buildings is visible in the background.

As well as your photos from trips with us, we love to share photos from our volunteers and their view from steering the boat. It's been a gorgeous day on the canal today. Thank you to our volunteer Lucie for sharing these great photos 🌊🌞

Probably not worth travelling across the country for, but if you are near Llanymynech Canal Wharf visitor centre this weekend, pop in for a half price flapjack! Open 1.30-4pm. #UKCanals Hot drinks also available!

Chocolate bars and flapjack in a wicker basket with an orange star flash shaped sign in English and Welsh saying half price

The team had run out of spoil storage space at Gallows Reach and is only half way through constructing the canal section up to the lift bridge.

So they had a 'muckshift' this week to create more temporary storage space. They've cleared about fifty metres so far.

#UKCanals #WeDigCanals #Lichfield

An orange excavator sits on freshly dug earth beside a road, its bucket lowered toward the ground. Deep tyre tracks run along the cleared dirt path, where a second piece of construction machinery is visible further back. Dense green trees and bushes surround the site, and traffic signs line the adjacent road under an overcast sky.

Not only did we finally post another #narrowboat video, but it wraps up our winter cruising in a chaotic fashion.

We’re not one for hyperbole, you count the number of canal disasters we faced!!! Let us know how many you counted!

Hello everyone. Just a weekly reminder that our volunteers will be at Llanymynech Canal Wharf tomorrow and Sunday afternoon with light refreshments and gifts supporting our wheelchair accessible narrowboat. #Shropshire #Cymru #UKCanals

Huge thanks to the Co‑operative Bank team who travelled from across the UK to volunteer with us. Over 20 volunteers helped clear towpaths and tidy open spaces along the canal at Fosseway Heath - a fantastic effort. 🙏

#Lichfield #UKCanals #WeDigCanals

A group of volunteers in high‑visibility yellow vests stand together on a dirt area beside a trailer branded “Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust.” Tools lie on the ground in front of them, and trees, a brick wall and a portable toilet are visible in the background.

Volunteers in high‑visibility vests clear overgrown vegetation along a brick canal towpath near a residential house. Cut branches are piled on the walkway, and the dry canal bed and surrounding fields stretch out behind them.

A volunteer wearing a helmet with face shield, gloves and a high‑visibility vest uses a brush cutter to trim dry grass on a roadside embankment. More volunteers and a passing car are visible further along the road.

Several volunteers in bright yellow vests work along a roadside verge, removing weeds and trimming vegetation. Brick houses and other residential buildings sit behind the grassy area they are clearing.
