So I made tarot cards. I apologize for this being late! I worked super hard on these and tried to combine the meaning behind the drawings for tarot and that from Inferno. In the Fool card the…

Whitchurch to Grindley Brook
A sunshine filled Special Edition!
After stumbling upon the magnificence of the multiple Locks to the entrance/departure of the Llangollen Canal not 48 hours before, I decided to up the ante and see for myself the splendour of the “Staircase” Locks at Grindley Brook and as this Sunday morning was so sunny, it seemed rude not to commence and complete our sunshine filled stroll from the quaint market town of Whitchurch just over two miles from the “Staircase” itself. So what follows is roughly a 5+ mile round trip and huge bumper crop (even for me) of a three part special edition that begins and ends in Whitchurch via a brief detour into the town itself, before an elongated look at the Locks and the beautiful confines of Grindley Brook.
Only brief colour commentary on the images from hereon in, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this virtual stroll beside the Llangollen Canal, on the winding border between England and Wales.
Disclaimer
As per my previous articles on the canals in the picturesque UK county in which I live, I don’t claim to have any experience of either a canal boat lifestyle or the inner workings and trials and tribulations of life on a houseboat/canal boat or narrow boat (whichever you prefer). I just find the peace, tranquillity and the quirky nature of an almost bygone way of existence and determination to live your life in this way, and in a floating house too, endlessly fascinating. I also bask and prosper in the sunshine, love the sights and sounds of canal life juxtaposed with the earthy nature and countryside that surrounds it, and simply discovering a new piece of the canal waterways puzzle never fails to raise a smile on my face. Guaranteed (Guaranteed) to receive oodles of smiles and “Hello’s” and “Good Afternoon’s” from the human beings you meet and watching dogs leap into a canal in search of a well thrown stick or ball can’t fail to amuse the child in all of us.
So much for all that.
