A big thank you to three volunteers from Capita Recovery, who joined us on Friday to widen the access road at Darnford Moors Ecology Park. With Nigel removing a tree stump (using his qualified chainsaw skills), the team put in a huge effort in the heat. #WeDigCanals #Lichfield #UKCanals

At Gallows Wharf: the team has concreted the section where the big pipe used to be, leaving only the two ends to go. Despite the 32‑degree heat, the incline wall and handrail are almost finished, and the concrete is curing nicely (under water from a small leak upstream). #UKCanals #Lichfield

The cold woke me at 4 this morning. 🥶 It was -3. Then Ollie heard me tinkering with the stove 🔥 so I had to walk him. 🥶 This cold snap will be over today. Sensible temperatures return from tonight. ☀️😎🏝️ My new wheelie truck arrives tomorrow. 🤩 I can’t wait! It’ll make so many things so much easier!
