Went for a little walk along our Canal near the Boat Marina! Fell asleep after lunch and missed all that lovely sunshine! But at least went out, but it was nippy and windy! Scarf, hat and gloves kept me warm with my winter jacket! 😀☺️
I try to get a more sunny perspective next time, but it was nearing dusk 🤗

How nice pity you missed the sun but it was still nice to be there it's a lovely canal we have a marina with boats off the river Humber but it in town and I don't go now as no transport 🚣
No transport? You mean buses?
No car there's buses but not safe were not even going in park unless it's real quiet as mam's heard it's in the air floating about in getting electric bike after Xmas 😊
Its great isn't it to get out in the fresh air for a walk!
Yes glad I went Catgirl! 👍🎄
I went out for a walk round the neighbourhood first thing this morning and I really enjoyed it!
This morning was raining again, strange weather ☺️🌧️
Gosh yes, it's so much underestimated, fresh air I mean.
I do miss meeting people that are likeminded but Ive got used to the idea of less people and take advantage x
Your pictures alone are Lush, it's a shame you seem to have missed what you wanted to see,
Don't dismiss dusk, it can be an amazing time of day?
But it is easy to say as you need to be safe and it's not something I'd suggest unless you have someone around you?
Just better to be safe!
I am used to going out on my own as live on my own! But I know how to defend myself just in case! When I didn't have a car I avoided dark allee ways and walked on lit pavements! 🦋🎄
Hi Snowdrops. Thanks for the reply x
It's good to hear your a Lady with wisdom! I suppose it's commen sence majority of the time?
I mean to say that being a 42 yr old man i take precautions , I do miss being able to just enjoy nature as much lately as I don't get to meet any likeminded nature lovers ,
I love dusk , around water but times are different at the moment ??
Well it certainly got rid of some cobwebs in my head 🕸️🦋
If only I could agree, about clearing the cobwebs from my head?
Well it took me a bit but got really fed up today being at home! So thanks to my friends on here I just went out and so glad I did! Nothing worse then staying in the house and looking at the 4 walls is there Karl 👍🙏 I am 63 years old and if I can do it you can too, right?🎄🦋🌲🌱🌿🌺🌷🌳
I'd definitely agree to looking at 4 walls!
And did you say your 63 yrs young? I did enjoy my walk by the river Trent today but I feel different today??
Thanks for your reply , u seem a lovely Lady x
Well I still work but am furloughed for 4 weeks well 3 weeks now! It's a difficult time of year this before Christmas mentally! But glad Jerry and lots of others are motivators and it does help to have this community here for sure!🌳
It's also the lack of contact with other people really like family, friends or work! It's tough 🙏
Good on you ! I live on my own too and still walk on my local beach in Spain don't ever let age restrict you, I'm 80 next year two years ago I took myself to San Francisco and Las Vegas and flew over the grand canyon in a helicopter. Independance keeps you going at heart ! Xx
.
At least you got out in the open air and had some exercise. Those are lovely views of the canal so you must have had a good day out..
45 minutes RoadRunner, and it was not busy then!
Thanks Jerry 👍☺️it was wholesome to get out!
Lovely photos Snowdrops, it looks so peaceful. xx
Hi Snowdrops_17
It's great that you got out for a walk - and that you wrapped up nice and warm in your scarf, hat, gloves and winter jacket. Lovely photos of the canal. I really like them.

Beautiful, I love that lock. Very interesting. 👍😊

That's a very full canal. What a lovely place to live, Yorkshire is beautiful. I have a cousin that lives in Gisburn, I'm proud to say I'm half Northern, my dad was from Durham.🏞😊
Just had a look where Gisburn is!
Yes do love where I live Alicia! Just have to explore more, don't I!?🤗💓🌺
Yorkshire is stunning. I need to explore more where I live in Devon, I so have an affinity for the North though, it's in my heart.🌈😊
Enjoy exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
Alicia 💗🌈🤗
I wonder how many of us on here are from God's Own County? Ripon, Hull, and I am in Leeds.
Not too far from me BabsyWabsy or Harrogate where I work 🤗
I used to work in Harrogate too. In the pyramid on Hornbeam park.
A fair few no doubt, such a beautiful part of the UK.
Great pics and I love canal walks. Rip on canal looks good!
Love Ripon. Beautiful photos, very tranquil.
Looks very tranquil. Lovely.
What a peaceful, tranquil place.Thanks ffor sharing this.
lovely picture - it was raining here in manchester all day & cold
Whereabouts in the country are you? Looks lovely and peaceful.
North Yorkshire prunus near Harrogate 😅
Dear Snowdrops_17,
This reminds me of my Childhood, Many an hour, day, week, spent on the river. We used to have a beautiful 'Clinker Built' (wooden construction) Cabin Cruiser. She was moored at Tempsford, on the River Ouse.... the 'Highest' Navigable point, back then. (These days you can 'happily' go up to Bedford, and beyond, I believe.) Gently 'pondering' down the river, all Manual Locks, on that stretch.... Manned, or Electric, further down.
The 'Dinking Water' always running low, no mater how often- or indeed- how much you filled it! The 'cabin' lights draining the battery, so you had to Crank Start' her, 'Crocodile Clips' for the Navigation Lights- switch was broken. Toilet 'flushed' with River water, Calor Gas needing 'changing' just as you got the kettle on..... Oh yes we had some Fun!
I don't know about now but back then (1960's, 1970,s) you could, so long as you had a Licence, simply Moore Up- pretty much- where ever you chose. There was a 'Riverside' Pub, I forget the name, that let you Moore for the night and use their Washing Facilities- in the morning. Ok you did have to buy a Meal- in the evening- and, quite probably, Breakfast too... Yum, Yum! (I do remember the name 'The Pike And Eel').
The River Ouse, is 'notoriously' Weedy, making it unsafe to swim in- unless you fall 'overboard' of course (not that I ever did... I think my sister did once....). However at St Neots there was a 'Very Safe', regularly dredged, section- by a Playground, as I recall. I learned to row there, I was just put in a 'dingy'- given two Ores and left to it. (I either Leaned to row, or stayed there!)
Amazing, your Photo Set, has had me Reminiscing- in such detail- I can almost Smell the water....Thank you Snowdrops_17, you have quite Made My Day🤗.

Quite an insight 😁😂
Still beautiful. Love sunsets and the dusky sky!
Glad you stayed warm.
It’s cold here in Georgia,USA today.
Have a good day!
There is something so beautiful where water, and GOD'S green earth come together. Thank you for this lovely picture post
Lovely pics all the same
