The Grand Union Canal

The canal goes all the way from London to Birmingham,
but I just did the bit here...under the Golden Star...called
'You are here!'


You need one of these to drive along it


But that's okay...see...it says...

AND DOGS


It's a very popular place to go walkies
Lots of pee mails to catch up on...


I thought I was walking the plank 
but turns out this is called a lock
(there's 166 of these, phew...too much like hard work!)


I'll just admire the scenery and chat to the locals


What's news Mr Big White Duck ?

Oh really..well, there was no need to be so rude

Mum, Mr Big White Duck hissed at me!!!

Loves and licky kisses

  1. Can't believe that big, white duck hissed at a Princess! BOL! We've heard about swans..... SHE has recently read some books about people who bought a barge and travelled along the canals, so SHE's jealous.

  6. As you say Leah, absolutely no need to be so rude. Does that chap not know you are a Princess?

  7. I heard that all the swans in the UK belong to the queen. Is that true? You'd think he'd be more polite, especially to a princess!

  10. Oh My! Your canal is much prettier than ours that runs by our house. Ours it dusty with stickery plants on either side. How nice to have grass!

  12. What a great place to go for a walk!!! I've been to "You Are Here", but it looked different. Maybe it was during a different season or something.

  21. It is a canal boat. I have been on one of those, only the one I was on was pulled by horses off to the side because the water was not deep. What fun.
    Thanks for being a friend
