Always enjoy the canal wildlife, like the flying heron this morning and the little fish this afternoon. I would have enjoyed the fish more if I hadn’t been nervous about looking down at all, as on the roof and trying to decide the best route down. We have had a step added but it was on the above the water side, rather than above the tow path. ( It was fitted on the port side but there is no consistent land side in canal travel. Another one is coming, so we have one each side, but there’s a supply issue.)

But the more interesting creature encounters today were this damselfly, coming inside the boat and the elephant parade in Worcester. This one was an excellent landmark when I got a bit lost coming out a different exit from a shop. Good job I am not chief navigator!
Entertaining drive and locking this morning. Switching between diesel and electric so as to do some charging ( till it got sunny😁) , and so as not to have fumes in the lock. Swifts and a low flying helicopter as distractions.
