A corner of England that is forever ... the DDR?

One more for the collection of strange sights canalside:


Someone's clinging on to the old East Germany in Amington on the Coventry Canal.


I can't help thinking that the life ring is somehow symbolic.

We've seen a little boat called Willow a couple of times over the past couple of days -- and I'm pretty sure it was the one you borrowed. Last seen this morning at MK marina.

Was it green? The owner told us he was selling it - perhaps it's in new hands now.

Yes, I've looked at your photos, and I'm pretty sure it was the same boat. Still seemed to have a prop, anyway...

So it was moving, then...

Yes it passed us while we were moored at Stoke Hammond, and was last seen on the service wharf at MK Marina.
