March 8 ~ On the Canal

Thursday at last! Get to go home tonight :)

Took another early morning walk, this time along one of the canals that crisscross the city. This photo is of a couple of the barges moored up behind Harvey Nichols of all places! I loved how the smoke poured out of the chimney on the blue barge on the left and the way the barges were reflected in the water of the canal.

A really long day today - although the trainer was well aware that half of us had long journeys to make, he insisted on keeping us there until about 3:45pm. Every other course I've ever atttended, the trainer plans the days so that on the final day, things end around lunchtime so that the delegates can get home at a reasonable hour and recharge their batteries ready for the following day back at work. Not so with this guy. I hustled and made it to Birmingham New Street station in time to board the 4pm train to Durham - I got in at 8pm :( Back to work in the morning for my usual 8:15am start..... will it ever be GOOD to be back!

Great photo! Just FYI the boats in the photo are narrowboats (not barges) with a beam just under 7ft so they can fit the narrow locks found in the midlands.

Love this photo Anna. The reflections are wonderful. Glad you got out to enjoy a bit around the area so you could get your mind off this crazy trainer.
