I’m guessing this is in Wales or the West Country somewhere? What a delightful scene. I always love a river barge. Looked into buying and living on one many years ago!
It’s actually Cheshire! My MIL has a boat moored here. We’ve had a couple of holidays on it in the past and I absolutely love it. Sadly the rest of my family don’t love it as much as I do.
I love them too, it’s such a relaxing way of life. I definitely couldn’t cope with condensing my whole life into such a small space permanently though!
That’s so beautiful! Honestly though being around water at the moment just makes me want to dive in! Not such a great idea in the UK canals, you can swim in the French canals they’re really clean!

I love barges, many many years ago we actually thought about buying one to live on. We even found the perfect mooring which came with enough land for a caravan and a vegetable plot. It didn’t happen though, but my life would have probably turned out a lot different to how it is now!
Now, I have to make do with living next to a canal.

It looks very serene and peaceful. I haven’t been on a barge since my childhood, not even sure if there are any local to us here in the south! #mysundayphoto
I don’t think that many people have! My MIL has one and we’ve had a couple of holidays on it. It’s a way of life that I absolutely love! The rest of my family don’t agree with me though. x

I always think it would be lovely to live on a boat, although I am sure the reality is a bit different. I love canal boats, so pretty. #MySundayPhoto
I love them too, it’s such a relaxing way of life. I definitely couldn’t cope with condensing my whole life into such a small space permanently though!
What a gorgeous view, looks so utterly peaceful there.
Thanks, it really was! I do love canals.
Beautiful canal boats and a lovely place to visit in this weather

Thanks very much, it’s the perfect weather for it!
This is certainly the right weather to be taking one of those along the waterways of England.
I wish we were travelling on one, it would be amazing in this weather. Sadly we were just paying a flying visit!
Hi Sarah, a day messing about by the canal? Are you on a barging holiday? It does look a peaceful place to be.

I wish I was! Sadly it was just a flying visit. My MIL has a boat.
I’d love to spend a holiday on a boat, feels like such an English photo
Have a good Sunday and thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
Thanks very much! We’ve had a couple of holidays on the canal and I absolutely love it, although it’s quite hard work!
Ahh! It looks so peaceful there. What a gorgeous view x
Thanks, it is a lovely place! Shame we couldn’t stay longer.
Canal boats are lovely, such a calm and peacful place
They really are! Thanks.
Gorgeous photo! The sky looks glorious! #MySundayPhoto
Thanks very much! It was a beautiful day.
I have always wanted to go on a canal boat!!
It is an amazing experience! We’ve been on a few times and I love it.
The perfect place to be in this weather. It looks beautiful there #MySundayPhoto
Thanks very much, it really was!
I love to watch the barges go by, but I’m not sure I’d want a holiday on one
I loved holidaying on one, it’s like you’re in another world.
That’s so beautiful! Honestly though being around water at the moment just makes me want to dive in! Not such a great idea in the UK canals, you can swim in the French canals they’re really clean!

You definitely wouldn’t want to swim in a British canal, they’re filthy! My daughter fell in once, it was terrifying, but she was fine.
I could probably do a canal trip, nice static water, get seasick if it moves too much #mysundayphoto
You do feel a little bit of motion – it’s weird when you get back on dry land – but probably not enough for seasickness.

That sounds amazing to live on one and have a plot of land too! It’s nice that you get to live near the canal though.
We love spending time at our local canal, not too far from you actually! Lovely photo. #MySundayPhoto

Barges are stunning. This looks like a perfect picture postcard. I don’t think I have ever been on a barge though x
