The northern Oxford canal- a tunnel of peace and tranquility.

I am now back on the move, having spent a couple of days in Coventry. Plumbing is no longer a mystery, and I have a new radiator to replace the leaky one. Getting ready for cooler days. Was in Coventry Cathedral for morning service: their patronal festival, so everyone was in fine form. The new cathedral is stark and modern, but has the longest reverberation time I have experienced. This was also the last service for the assistant organist who is taking up a new position, and so he really dusted out all the pipes! Was quite magic.

I intend to continue up the Coventry Canal to Nuneaton, checking out a boat painter there, and then perhaps back to the solitude of the Ashby Canal. We’ll see.

This ophoto is just at the marina in Braunston, in the evening: a really magic place and one of the reasons I have chosen this as my base for exploration.

About Ed Mortimer

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
