Canal Boat Holiday on The Black Country Ring
Short trailer of the adventures we had on our narrowboat holiday when we cruised the black country ring (midlands, UK) passing Fradley Junction, Great Haywood, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Drayton Manor with a stop off at the theme park and Fazely Junction. Fabulous family holiday, great for dogs and kids!! Hired a 5* narrowboat from Aqua Narrowboats and could complete the route in a week.

Trent and Mersey Canal Near Willington 21.03.2013
A visit to North Staffordshire Junction on the Cross Country Route, (see my uploads for footage of this) coincided nicely with a visit to Willington and the Trent and Mersey Canal. These shots filmed from the towpath on the 21st March 2013.
The Trent and Mersey Canal is a 93.5 mile long canal in the East Midlands, West Midlands and North-west of England. This canal was built to connect the River Trent at Derwent Mouth with the River Mersey at Derbyshire. A second connection is made with the Bridgewater Canal which joins it at Preston Brook in Cheshire. The plan for this canal came from engineer James Brindley. It was authorised by an act of parliament in 1766 and the canal was completed in 1777, including 70 locks and five tunnels.
Shots filmed between Findern and Willington. The railway line of the Cross Country Route can be head in the second shot. Of note in this video, cargo carrying narrowboat 'Princess Anne' of T&S Element Ltd turning round close to Mercia Marina.
Filmed in the company of Chris (cmeonthemove).

Living on a Thames houseboat - BBC London
The residents of these Thames houseboats are under threat of eviction. The property owners have accused them of failing to do the correct safety checks, but should there be more regulation for the river dwelling community?

Britain's smallest church holds annual service
People gather for the annual service at Britain's tiniest church, in the glorious bank holiday sunshine. Britain's tiniest church held its annual service to mark the start of the growing season, but most of the congregation missed it because it was too small for them to get inside. Around 50 people showed up to the tiny 4m by 3.4m Bremilham church, which used to be a turkey shed, on a farm near Malmesbury, Wilts., for the annual Rogationtide service. The tiny church is so small that only the organist and vicar had room to be inside - leaving the rest of the flock sat in their own chairs outside in the glorious Bank Holiday sunshine.
