Hail to the Hive!
Today we left the beautiful green fields and valleys and entered what used to be the heart of industry and more specifically the area they call ‘ the potteries’ as it’s an area famous for making pottery.
Stoke City Football Club is even nicknamed ‘the potters’. But it is a very bleak landscape and the recent sunshine also see ed to lose all hope as we entered the area by canal. It feels bleak.
I decided to do a long day of cruising to get clean through to the other side of the city, it’s a bit ‘orrible. I do like mooring in cities but not this one, it’s depressing.
But it does lend itself somewhat to the mood of the monochrome and I snapped away as I passed through this bleak landscape.
So I guess it wasn’t a wasted chug along and we will be In lovely countryside by the end of the day. So all is good in the canal hood!
