I don't know about you but I always enjoy being near to water ... a feeling of tranquility often follows. We were fortunate to spend time near the canal with our youngest grandson, and it goes without saying - but I will - care and caution was in our mind being near water with a young child.
These next four pictures were taken from The Wyvern Shipping Company Web-Site, here, but we were fortunate to see similar scenes to this. Wyvern Shipping featured in ITV's recent canal boating series "Barging Round Britain" with John Sergeant, did you see it ... I thought it was excellent!
We love having a walk canal-side. Life is slower, people always stop to talk and there is so much to see as you walk along the canal path. Yes ... there are even great pubs to stop a while - if you so wish! I could think of far worse ways to spend an afternoon. Gongoozling is one of our most favourite past times - you can read more about that here.

Love your photos, especially the bridge with the beautiful home, and the one with the horses grazing on the hill. I have a tiny bit of water and a bridge by my home too and coincidentally, I put the photos up on my site this morning.
Hi 'Roses and Lilacs' and many thanks for your kind comments. I've visited your blog and recently left a comment, I love your pictures especially of the clouds reflecting in the water.
It's always good to get out and about and enjoy our surroundings.
Hope you have a good weekend

Where I live we are surrounded by canals not far from the famous Foxton Locks. They are a great place to take a walk - very peaceful - and always plenty to look at too. Your meal looks right up my street I love a piece of fish for dinner, a great end to what looks like a lovely day.
Hi Elaine and many thanks for your comment.
Foxton Locks is on my list of must go to places ...
For those who don't know " Foxton Locks are ten canal locks consisting of two "staircases" each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 5 km west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough and are named after the nearby village of Foxton."
