How cosy does this housebarge look at night, as the warm light comes from the windows?

There is still a little commercial river traffic on the Thames.

I went to a horse show.

They had shire horses done up like the horses that used to tow boats from the canal towpaths.

A horse of 800 kg could pull 100× its weight, because the load floats relatively friction free on water. These big horses were for fully loaded, massive barges.

The photo shows a woman in traditional attire leading a shire horse. Its tack has bobbins so the rope would roll without rubbing the skin off the horse.
