Fond memories of your pic. Before the canal became the Great Wall of Calis, it used to be my favourite dog walk. Early morning, builders brew, in my flask, clamber down the bank and sit on a rock, Honey Dawg used to splosh in the canal. Even went in it a few times to cut down bull rushes( before I knew about the black river snakes lol) Sheep grazing on little grassy islands. Further along the other way, was her special swimming place, near the metal bridge, opp derelict Little Venice Houses, which were occupied! and hooked up to the electric pole !!! Frogs, terrapins, kingfishers, etc I was totally at one with nature. Back in the day.............
