Pre Christmas is the time to enjoy 'quite times' on the Ashby Canal

13th December to Today - 'Pottering', 10.25 miles 0 locks, Ashby Canal

It's sort of like a hibernation really, it's winter, the days are short of light and the must do's are many during that time.

We have been doing some serious 'pottering' since the Works Xmas Do, and haven't I just loved it.

The Ashby Canal is shut I think, just ahead of us for some work to be done on the embankment near Market Bosworth, but that doesn’t bother me too much, there is plenty to fit in during the daylight hours without moving No Problem….

Like lots of walking in the glorious winter sun, with the leaves now on the ground and the air as fresh as it can be for the colder months of the year… Oh not forgetting keeping ourselves warm at this time of year…..

To supplement our coal supply… but then there is also that lovely festivity of Christmas, only a couple of days away now, and it isn’t forgotten on the Ashby…
