"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."

I went on a canal boat holiday with rare aquatic badger (and someone else, to make it sound less like a terrible gay cruise) once and it was great great fun.
WalkleyTalkley says:
And cool second picture and bird in first picture (what sort of bird is that - my bird knowledge is pretty rubbish!!)
FilbertFox says:
So WT the rumour about you and RAB are true. Is Dhamaka's moblog the best place for an 'outing'?
Damn fine shots the way!
WalkleyTalkley says:
The rumour? The rumour? There's only one!
How disappointing.
FilbertFox says:
there are many rumours - but so far this is the only one that has been confirmed on moblog.

hi guys!
Thank you for the compliments and the 'interesting' rumours..
The canals (hertford union and regents) are some of my fave bits of london and a great place to cycle (unless like today the wind's against you both ways in which case avoiding little old ladies and dogs can be a bit of a challenge). The geese were taken around 11ish today and the heron about 2:30ish. If you were to go there between 7 and 9:30 of a morning or 4:30 to 7 in the evening on a weekday or any time in nice weather on the weekend you wouldn't think it was a secret at all! Then you can't move for pedestrians, mad cyclists, kids and dogs..
I've shots of bits of it earlier in my blog because I love the place.
WT it's a heron - bird mascot of The Hague (useless fact of the day)

They are great Twiglet, aren't they. This one let me get so close - on my bike too!
FF - the top picture is the hertford union canal. It's about a mile between the Lee Navigation (best access is just after the petrol station when you turn off the motorway bit of the A12 to get to Hommerton Hospital.
The second picture is the Regent's Canal (part of the Grand Union Canal) and goes from somewhere near Limehouse in the Docklands to Islington (best access in Islington through Colebrook Row), then underground through Camden Lock and to Little Venice in Paddington. This one has loads of access points.
you can get free sustrans maps from tfl that show it (badly)
