Down To The Canal




 Another wander down to the Trent and Mersey canal at the Broken Cross to see what was happening with the section they had drained.  Still not much going on after a week - nothing we could see differently from our last visit anyway.  Extremely cold and frosty morning - nice clear blue sky with shades of yellow and pink on the horizon as the sun rose.  From the silt a few more objects - a florid tile and some metal fastenings although these maybe some gadgets the workmen had bought along to attach the tarpaulin to the scaffolding dam they had built.  Water still being pumped out both ends - ducks bobbing about in the frothy bubbles.  A short walk to the other end of the bit cordened off - the boats that had gathered had all gone. We assumed they had turned around in the bit that was wider for just that purpose and gone back from whence they came.
