A canal

A canal - but which one?  Not surprisingly I don't remember anything about a trip out to a canal in the Autumn of 1984, but the camera doesn't lie so I must have been there at some time that year.  In hindsight had someone had the decency to fall in then the trip might have been more memorable,  but as that didn't happen I'll have to make do with these scans of 35mm slides.  It could be the Shropshire Union canal, or possibly the Stratford upon Avon canal.  Either way looking at the snaps it looks like a mighty fine place to be in the autumn.  What do you think?

I know I do go on about it (Ed: indeed you do, indeed you do), but didn't Mr Kodachrome do well again?  And we have to have one arty-farty one, don't we?

And that, folks, completes our little vignette of The Wirral and its surrounding regions in 1984 and 1987.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Tomorrow, back to present-day Norn Iron - for a while, anyway!
