I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and New Year.

The weather has turned to winter and the cold days have taken the canals to a winter wonderland.

Many boats are now winterised and sitting comfortably in their moorings.

Shared boats can still be spotted on the canals enjoying the very quiet cruising of winter.

The scenery can be amazing and the joy of those short days and long evenings of peace in front of a roaring fire.

Many shared boats will take to the water over Christmas and New Year what a special treat for this festive time of year.

Is wish you all a very peaceful and healthy Christmas and New Year
