After getting our beautiful Morso Squirrel Stove installed
by the Stove Specialists at The King’s Lock Chandlery in Middlewich (just in
time for summer!) we set off for Llangollen.
The Llangollen Canal is probably the most scenically
spectacular of all the the British Canals and certainly one of the most
popular. The two great aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte are well known
wonders of the waterways and our reward for traversing the full 44 miles along
this branch.
This painting is of Wrenbury Mill, and the hire fleet that
is based there alongside the lift road bridge. Wrenbury was a gorgeous place to
spend some time, so enjoyable that the process of having to move on becomes
regrettable. Mark, a chap who kindly got me a beer whilst I was painting,
clearly thought the same. He hasn’t moved for 14 months, largely because his
engine had blown up, but I got the feeling that he wasn’t in that much of a
rush! Here is a photo Mark took and sent through with his boat in the background
