Ardlington Marsh lock on the @wiltsberks.bsky.social this lock is likely to be lost forever due to the proposed Sesro Reservoir.
Another fantastic lock to see with the gates still in place like a couple in the area. Amazing to see this derelict lock still defying nature

NB Sculptor turns 90 this year. Built 1935 for the Grand Union Canal Carrying Co., it is now part of The Canal Museum on the Grand Union at Stoke Bruerne, one of three excellent museums operated by the Canal & River Trust

Grasses are definitely an essential part of my garden and really make an impact at this time of year. This grass is massive, I really want to divide it but I will need a lot of strong helpers and a saw! 🌱

Sock progress, the heel is turned on the second of the pair. Won’t attempt the stitch pick up along the sides until better light tomorrow. 🧶

The garden back at the end of October, still some colour but definitely end of season. 🌱 A much warmer day here today. Really must crack on with writing Xmas cards.

More sock progress, I present to you sock number one with almost finished sock number three and the start of sock number four. I am currently wearing sock number two on my good foot. The other one is still in plaster after an operation to fix it. 🧶

Tad chilly on the North Oxford this morning, but the sun looks like it will burn off the fog and turn the canal back to liquid as the day progresses.

A late October fuchsia in my garden. All gone now in late November, they don’t survive the frost. 🌱

Last week's #FundBritainsWaterways campaign cruise by the Wilderness Boat Owners' Association failed to reach Brandon Lock on the Little Ouse, owing to silt & fallen trees.
The town of Brandon is now virtually cut off from the national and local system of navigable waterways.

Have been visiting my parents, it has been a very welcome break away from my confinement on the boat whilst my foot is in plaster. This is Mum’s Christmas cactus which usually starts flowering from now until January 🌱.

So very pretty, on my garden wish list.
An elegant bearded iris from my Spring 2020 garden. One of my favorite varieties.

On this cold and frosty morning I give you a sunny perennial sunflower 🌻 from before the frost. I suspect there’ll be none left after last night. Have a lovely day everyone 😁🌱

With the change in the weather this week and overnight frost we’ll be saying goodbye to the nasturtiums for this year. They’ve had a good long season. 🌱
