Here's Catherine enjoying a coffee. Well the smell as we walked passed this Nestle factory made it seem like we were in a cafe. We assume they process Nescafe in there.

Slough Arm
Doesn't this look idyllic apparently you see herons and cormorants along this arm according to two very enthusiastic people we passed near Water's Edge. We've seen herons but no cormorants so far. We decided we would walk all the arms in the autumn.
Just Before the Slough Arm
We liked the look of this pub called Water's Edge. No time to stop today but we'll have to come back another time.
Mail Delivery
I think we should refuse this kind offer as it's a long way to Cowley Lock to pick up the mail (even though it is very pretty as you can see from the next photo)!
Greenford Here We Come
The first of our 2 consecutive walks this half term week. Here we are ready to leave Uxbridge (we are walking on our own this time so there were no issues with car parks!).

Transporting Goods on the Canal
Having one barge towed by another barge is apparently the most efficient way of moving aggregates (or in this case logs) up and down the canal.
