Messing about on the water

Mr h went out for coffee with a friend this morning, so I caught up with a few jobs, including giving the lawns a first cut of the year and watching newts in the pond. After lunch we took Reggie for a walk along the canal from the five rise locks towards Keighley. The diesel spillage was noticeable ( a boat sank on Saturday in Skipton leading to the spillage) but not as drastic as I had thought. This swan was keeping a close eye on Reggie, and I love the way the water looks behind it.

In other news Mr H and I became great aunt and uncle yesterday when my niece and husband had a baby girl. All healthy and happy but it does make me feel old!
