Normally it's rare to see any thing other then a Narrowboat or Dutch barge on the canal, even though there's been reduced traffic on the water this year, we're seeing a few of these on the water. It could be to do with the increase of the staycation that's behind this
Good catch- somehow it seems to be a better size than the bigger boats, but not as interesting to look at. The narrow boats just have a little more character and personality!
