My favourite Holmes? Possibly...
My favourite Watson? Absolutely!

Seriously, you enjoy your breakfast, I'll go round you 😂
I managed to get out for a quick walk along Newport Canal, #Shropshire, before #StormBert really sets in.
Stay safe and warm today, everyone!

Morning all!
Headed out for my walk before sunrise this morning, so it was still a little dark at the Newport Canal, #Shropshire.
In better news, my boiler is now working again, touch wood! 🤞

Morning! There wasn't too much snow along the Newport Canal this morning but the blue sky and golden sunlight made it a beautiful walk 😊 #Shropshire

What a day!!
The morning started with a lovely walk down a very foggy Newport Canal #Shropshire
I came home to boiler problems - no hot water or central heating until tomorrow at the earliest, just in time for the cold snap 😭

Here he is - it's zoomed in so not the best photo of Sid. Taken on 29th July 2024 at the Newport Canal basin, #Shropshire.
He swoops down the canal but I've never had my phone ready in time to capture video. One day...

Took my Saturday morning walk a little further past the Polly's Lock end of Newport canal, just under 7km in total.
So lucky to have this on my doorstep... #Shropshire

Cold and a little foggy at the Meretown end of Newport canal this morning. Atmospheric though, don't you think? #Shropshire

Movie night with my middle son: popcorn and a fairly entertaining film (Venom) followed by a rare trip to Five Guys for burgers (how much???)

A small flotilla of swans and ducks went past me on the Newport canal this morning 😊
I missed the first few swans, unfortunately...
