It's taking a while to catch up with these walks! This is walk #3, on Aug. 9th. We began where we finished last time, at bridge 17.
The Mersey Motor Boat Club is right by this bridge.
After a warming cup of coffee, it was 'best foot forward'.
Really tall, lush ferns grow by the side of the canal here.
They remind me of Susan in New Zealand, the land of ferns.
This photo, plus the milestones we pass, remind me of a long but well-loved poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, called 'The Brook'
Two oft-repeated lines....
'For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.'
A bit further along, the ferns have given way to these beautiful long grasses, which I love. There is such a variety of plant-life along the canal bank.
It's a joy!
