16/12/2017 A few more photos around Devizes.

Maximum temperature 6C,  Minimum -1C,  Still a bitterly cold wind!! 

Taken through the lounge window, a male blackbird in the apple tree.

The building to which this doorway provides access was erected in 1785 by John Anstie, for the manufacture of woollen cloth. It was one of the first cloth factories in the West of England and the sculpture shows some of the processes used.

The former Nags Head public house, a Grade II listed building, which now appears to have been converted into flats.

 The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 140kms  (87 miles) between Bristol and London. 

One of the narrow boats that are used for trips and tramsportation on the canal.

As above.

I suspect that all of these narrow boats are homes,

Just a view down the canal.

One of the bridges over the canal with a canoe passing underneath...

Far too energetic and too cold for me, but this canoeist seems happy enough!


Loving having your comments but I will only get back to replying when we get home in January 😊

  3. Those canal boats look fascinating. I imagine the dampness and the resulting aching bones. Not for everyone but great to see. Thank you, Diane.

  6. At those temps I'd not go outside. The long boats look like they'd make a fine house.
