Even on a somewhat dull, overcast day this looks adamantly cheerful. This boat was moored to a piece of land that had obviously become 'home' as behind it there was a little shed and on the canalside, lots and lots of various objects. I say various objects because, it varied from plastic flowers to plastic ducks to numerous other bits of amusement.
@kazzamazoo Btw, they aren't paint tins, Kaz. They're a particular type of tinware that are traditionally seen, and I guess at one time were used on canal boats. Typically they are painted with various colourful and bold designs.
