A walk to the end of the line

A typical misty autumnal morning greeted us this morning as we left Yarwood for a walk to Snarestone, the current end of the Ashby navigation.  We being, Fletcher, Floyd and I..
We left Joe preparing to touch up the gunnel's with a bit of raddle paint.

The end of the line... for now

    My comment must have been lost - how can Floyd be that age? Where does the time go. He still looks as handsome as ever - met some real, seriously, anti Floyd stiles today and thought of you all

      The time just flies Jill. We are fast approaching our 5th anniversary, your are not far from your 6th. When I think that the majority of my dog's lives have been spent on a boat...but what a life they have!

      I don't know how to allow you to change the post name from my blog but just sign off as Jill anyway.
