This morning was cold, indeed exceedingly chilly, but needs be, so a walk was in order, so after saying cheerio to Liz, of I trundled into town along the canal towpath. Everywhere was white and lovely, people whom I passed all said good morning with a smile; a pleasant walk!

A photo of a cold snowy canal bank was just too easy. So a closer look was needed and by my foot was this superb flowering clover.  It seemed to say everything about being cold and chilly. A simple photo, a lovely moment and a super walk. Remember look closer at things before moving on.

The boats and what is happening there, well progress in being made.

The rough construction of both the boats is completed, above is a harbor type of rowing boat based on a traditional craft from the Shetland Isles. You can still see the Viking influence in the construction.

 At the moment I am wrestling with making the sea waves on a beach. Remember apart from a little glue and paint, it is all paper, but more about that on another day.
