Archie. Ten tears ago today.
#RescueDogs
#Collies
A totally confused, very underweight rescue collie standing on the black and white checked floor of a kitchen he has never been in before wondering if he is in some sort of trouble.

48 and out. Archie assumes command after sending me off to shut the bottom gates of the last lock on this trip.
A collie stands on the stern of a narrowboat in sole command. He is staring at the surface of the water, totally focussed and ready for any eventuality.

Good morning!
In the dawn light reflections of naked trees and the leaden sky lead to a hump-backed bridge on the right. To the left of the bridge a narrowboat is moored at a small wharf. Through the bridge moorex boats of people who have enjoyed an evening in the Olde Barbridge Inn wait patiently for their crews to stir.

Good? Morning!
Blue-grey clouds softly glowing in the dawn light and the steel grey canal flecked with rust-like puddles of rain sandwich a swathe of grassland zipped to the sky by a line of trees. A narrowboat huddles against the rain to our left.

Good morning!

Today I will be mainly cruising into this old oil painting and out the other side. I will keep an eye out for chimney sweeps and nannies.

Good morning!
Looking over the tiller, the thick carpet of leaves on the towpath to the roght leads towards Audlem to lock and the hump-backed bridge behind it. Rapidly balding trees are reflected in the mirror-still water of the canal. On the stone wall of the house to the right of the lock sits a three-sided wooden shop containing two fridges and an honesty box.

Good morning!
A work tug and barge are moored on the canal in front of a hump- backed bridge. They are so well used that the tug is ruting and the cargo bay of the barge is filled with brambles and weeds.

Good morning!
Ahead of our bows, shadowy forms of moored narrowboats reflect in dark pre-dawn water, behind them a warehouse dotted with security lights is silhouetted against an iron grey sky. Behind a crane to the left a bright light on a building to its right accurately mimics the glow of the sun hiding just below the horizon to its left. A line of high broken clouds starts at the crane and flows leftwards filling that part of the sky.

A narrow dog snoozing in the narrowest part of his #narrowboat to recover from having to travel by car to get there.
He hates cars, loves boats. #GoodDog.
Archie the collie snoring gently as he lies in the narrowest part of the inside of his narrowboat. Behind him is a lounge area that is twice as wide. No thanks, he says.

Good dog. Archie is off to his happy place for a week tomorrow...

Russet apple and maple syrup tart cooked tarte tatin style with rich shortcrust pastry.
Top left is a small white plate with a thin blue rim holding a slice of russet apple and maple syrup tart cooked tarte tatin style with rich shortcrust pastry. Bottom right is a large white plate with a narrow black and white rim holding the rest of the tart. A small pool of syrup fills the space where the missing slice would be.

A bright autumn sky and rich autumn colours vie with each other reflected in fast flowing turbulent water of a small woodland stream. Glimpses of what lies below appear and disappear.

Black stable doors open into the berugged floor of a tiny room next to a canal that contains a 24 hour £1-a-book second hand book and greetings card shop. There is a letter box for payment at the back of the shop.

Odd ideas that pop into your mind during the early morning dog walk No. 1004: the pizza Margherita doughnut.

Well they worked out well. I took the liberty of adding a pinch of pepper to the salt.
