The canal Duke

Today was a day spent with the canal Duke, or at least, with his monument. Having spent some time enjoying his canal, the Bridgewater, last year, we spent today "dog sitting" at the foot of his memorial, looking after Mellie and Clover, two corgis, while Margaret and Bob were out for the day, the hottest of the year to date. It was very relaxing overall and gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my roots, as I was born and raised nearby.
