Joining the long list of places to visit in better weather, today we went to Tardebigge, to see the canal and the magnificent flight of over 30 canal locks. We couldn't see much! With the high winds overnight, some of the narrow lanes were blocked by flooding, branches and fallen power cables. When we eventually found the canal, we parked up and attempted a walk along the towpath. The wind was strong and cold and the rain horizontal! There was one brave duck on the canal, so I fed him generously, as he paddled furiously against the current due to the wind!
The towpaths were flooded in places, which made the walk a little perilous, with all those deep locks so close!
Even him indoors, not one for winter attire, had to admit defeat and wear extremely thick gloves!
There were some lovely properties along the canal though, I wouldn't mind living here!
When we got back to the car, for our much needed warm drink, it was covered in debris from the surrounding trees!
Yes, beautiful Tardebigge is certainly on the list of places to return to.
