🍓 A jam-packed bit of history! The famous Jam Butty of Wildside fame is soon to join the @nbwakamatandoto.bsky.social family - a sweet fit as they love recycling. Brownhills Canal Festival was likely the last time we’d see her loaded with jam – so we snapped a pic. ♻️ #FloatingTraders #UKCanals
Two people sit smiling on the roof of a red and green narrowboat named The Jam Butty, moored along a leafy canal. The boat’s signage reads “handmade preserves,” and chalkboard menus on the towpath list jam-related treats. Other narrowboats and greenery line the background, creating a relaxed, summery atmosphere.

A huge thank you to @alanb246.bsky.social for being our star harbourmaster once again at this year’s Brownhills Canal Festival! From clearing the canal of duvets (yes, really!) to last-minute mooring magic, Alan keeps everything shipshape. We couldn’t do it without him. #UKCanals #FloatingTraders

It's #WeekEforEvents for the #AlphabetChallenge so here's Brownhills Canal Festival in August 2024, with historic narrowboats, #FloatingTraders and traders on land. (We organise it because Brownhills will be at the top end of the Lichfield Canal.) #UKCanals
A busy canal in nice weather, with boats, plus gazebos on the towpath and lots of people.
