    Pictures took by hubby of the scenery by us, just 10 minutes walk across the road and your by it...fantastic energy for dogs as my bruno loved it 3 times daily.
    As you can see Gardens done leading to canal edge besides owning barges and others with Allotments on them.

    Really lovely scenery Gail and the perfect setting for dog walking. Our dog would be in the canal so fast you'd never be able to stop him. Then it would be ball throwing time to help dry him off. We end up tired out just watching him!!

    Eileen it's a treasure to live by and the fields keep extending even when you cross a road..you'd loose your dog ;)….Our Bruno used to take the odd dive till he was stopped as staffies go under even though they can swim as their body muscle takes them down, never knew that till I read it. I've seen a lot in the past use the ball...your dog sounds really energetic.
    The scenery in the winter with snow is a sight and especially when the canal freezes over...they have barge shows besides hiring them for the day and fishing contests.

    What a great place for dogs and humans. The water really does add a nice dimension. Your man took some good foto's that demonstrate the beauty of your area.

    Sjoerd when I used to walk my dog early of a morning it was heaven and so peaceful but towards dinner and evening it gets more busy with dog walkers but as I said to Eileen it just seems to never end.

    If I want good and close up shots he's the man ;)

    That is an extremely tall weeping willow tree.
