Our weather has been crap here as well. So rainy and humid that it feels like a rainforest and like my house is going to spring mold on the outside. Lots of floods in the region too.
Great scenery on this leg of you journey. Love the UK fields.
I love spotting Herons. They are my favorite bird to see in nature. So majestic and almost dinosaur like. Looks like a great blue heron you saw.
Yeah, it's some strange weather and I get what you mean about the mold. I had my fire on 2 nights again and it was mainly because of the damp air that I didn't like.
This area is indeed stunning and, amazingly, I can moor here for 14 days at no charge. We'll be going down the flight of locks in a couple of days, but there have not been many boats this year at all.
The heron was blue and I only got a mobile shot of it and it flew away while I was turning on my camera. I think there are many of them in this region because that's the third one that has landed next to the boat. Yeah, hubby says the same thing about them being like dinosaurs :)))
