The waxing moon is nearly at its full, so a great time to enjoy a mug of warming Waxing Moon tea. Lovely chatting to its creator @maid_miri at the #BanburyCanalFestival today. So pleased it could go ahead despite the closures and stoppages. The next podcast episode will be next weekend. #ukcanals
White mug with infuser/strainer standing on the counter next to a sachet titled Rootlet Rituals. The boat cabin smells warm with ginger and herbs.

Just a heron doing its thing—contemplative shoreline loitering one moment, then graceful takeoff the next. These quiet scenes remind us that restoration isn’t just about bricks and diggers—it’s about creating space for life to thrive. @everyheron.bsky.social 🪶🌿 #WeDigCanals #Lichfield #UKCanals
A heron stands poised on grassy terrain at the edge of a canal, surrounded by tall plants and dense foliage. The water is bordered by a concrete embankment. The peaceful setting highlights the bird’s quiet presence and the canal’s natural charm.
A large heron takes off into flight above a calm canal, wings curved as it leaves the ground. It is surrounded by greenery, with trees and reeds framing the tranquil scene. The heron’s motion adds a dynamic contrast to the stillness of the water.

We’ve got some truly beautiful boats ready and waiting at Huddlesford Heritage Gathering. Come and see them up close and personal. #Lichfield #UKCanals
A man in a grey hoodie and red shorts stands on the deck of a blue and red narrowboat named "Tycho," part of the British Waterways fleet. The boat, numbered 93, is moored beside a canal with trees and a metal fence in the background. Yellow lettering reads "BRITISH WATERWAYS" and "TYCHO."
Two people stand on the deck of a traditionally painted narrowboat named "Owl No 211," cruising along a calm canal. The boat features ornate red, green, and black livery with gold lettering: "Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd. Registered at Birmingham No 1510 Heath." Reflections ripple in the water, framed by lush greenery, capturing a tranquil moment steeped in canal history.
A narrow canal lined with moored narrowboats on both sides, surrounded by lush greenery. In the foreground, a blue picnic table sits on a grassy bank. Boats named "Tycho" and "others are visible, reflecting in the calm water. The scene is peaceful and picturesque, evoking leisure, heritage, and the charm of British waterways.
Two narrowboats moored along a tranquil canal, framed by overhanging trees and dense greenery. One boat is blue with a circular emblem; the other is black with white trim, both adorned with flags and decorations. The water reflects the boats and foliage, while the canal continues into the distance, possibly through a lock or under a bridge. A serene snapshot of canal life and natural beauty.

Huddlesford Heritage Gathering is nearly here! 📅 Sat 20 - Sun 21 Sept, 10am–5pm Lichfield’s only canal festival returns with boats, crafts, music & heritage fun. Low water & canal closures have made it a challenge—but the spirit’s strong 💪 ... #UKCanals
Aerial photo of Huddlesford Heritage Gathering: a lively outdoor festival with tents, stalls, and crowds in a green field bordered by trees and a railway line. Overlay text reads “HUDDLESFORD Heritage Gathering,” “20 & 21 September 2025,” and “Cappers Lane, Whittington, Lichfield, WS14 9JW.” Small graphics of a church, canal boat, and vintage vehicles highlight the heritage theme.
