We'd emailed the wonderful Liam of https://www.midlandsandcoast.co.uk/ to try to sort out a #coal delivery to #ourplace which fronts the #towpath of the #Bridgewater #Canal. I took a photo of his #boat last time we got #fuel from him. It's based the same distance on one side of #PrestonBrook #bridge as we are the other. This time I needed an emergency supply. He gave me a bag, lent me a barrow to carry it home and said he'd invoice me when he delivered all we have room to store.

As I collected the fuel the sun came out to reveal The Midlands & Coast Canal Carriers Ltd yard in all its glory.

We're back at the cottage in #PrestonBrook and, last night, took a walk down the #towpath of the #Bridgewater #Canal to the north portal of the #tunnel.

In almost the middle of nowhere it was a surprise to find a #bookexchange facility. I really wish I'd taken more notice of it, like how far it is from the tunnel mouth and whether it can be seen from a passing #boat. Not that I can imagine any passing boat would rush to moor and examine the bookcase's contents.

Arrived at #PrestonBrook yesterday and promptly #smashed the #car while reversing into the balustrade on the #canal bridge. (pictures later)

But its good to see the reflection of the canal on the #cottage #ceiling.

I've been a bit quiet as we've been away. This was the car just before we left for a #cottage at #PrestonBrook fronting the #towpath on the #Bridgewater #canal.

There's deconstructed #Ikea and #wayfair furniture in there as the place needed to be furnished.
