A walk into Garstang via the Lancaster Canal this morning.
We had coffee & a scone, Cathy bought me some socks.
The couple sitting on the chairs are former neighbours of ours who also lived in Inglewhite when we did.
They are really into canal barging & Ken when he was mayor of Preston was very instrumental in having the Lancaster Canal joined up through Preston so you could travel from Tewitfield near Kendal right through & onto the midlands in a canal boat.
The Ribble Link.
There were seven barges moored up here & they were having a barge meet up.
Duck situation is much better.
The poor things are having a family spat too. I think the biggest drake is actually one of their last years offspring who is clinging on to mums apron strings.
Dad keeps chasing him off & a few times today he has turned up on his own.
Thrown out of the family & we don’t want them either!
Homeless & no family, it’s time he did a bit of courting & founded his own dynasty.
Looks like a a lovely place to walk. I always feel sorry for birds when their offspring don't want to leave home. We have a pair of butcher birds with a youngster that doesn't want to leave his parents and Mr Butcher Bird gets quite aggressive and vocal towards his youngster.
Lovely photo and the Lancaster canal was where we had a lovely Airbnb when we headed south for a wedding a couple of years ago. Nice memories.
Laughing at the duck episodes. 😄
Such an idyllic walk along the canal and your friends look very comfortable sitting there!. Ooh dear , the saga of the ducks still goes on does it - Poor bachelor boy - perhaps he will get the urge to find a girlfriend soon as we come into Spring! ha !

Yes I’m afraid the duck is over staying it’s welcome at home….a bit like our own human children sometimes especially now when the bank of dad & mum is very attractive!
@Dawn@busylady@digitalrn It was a lovely morning, so many people in town, lots carrying flowers for their mums! @maggiemae Cathy & I were so warm walking along! We were opening our jackets up & feeling hot.
