We've untied Narrowboat Bluebell's ropes again and set her free on another adventure✌️

Just passed possibly the most colourful lock on the system 😍

Castlefield Junction, here we come 😊

And on the sixth day...

Thanks for all the lovely messages and comments about the attempted break-in last night!

We're glad to say that it hasn't dampened our love for this incredible city one little bit ✌️

Someone tried breaking into Narrowboat Bluebell last night whilst we were all fast asleep in our cabins... 😳

This wasn't the post that I wanted to write to accompany this propper lush photo of the Bluebells taken by our pal Ed yesterday 😍

Vive la Rochdale Canal✌️

Heading through the guillotine lock in Todmorden - Fleur wouldn't go through in case she got the chop 🤭😂

Have you had a good weekend flower?

Mine turned out all roses and castles after all ☺️

Be blessed!

Much love,

Rich and the Bluebells x✌️

Todmorden on the Rochdale Canal in West Yorkshire✌️

The Rochdale Canal is said to be one of the most challenging of the UK's waterways, but the rewards are well worth it!

Have you already cruised it, or do you plan to coddiwomple up it in the future?

📸 Rochdale Canal, Todmorden, UK 😍

They do Town Halls properly in this part of the world 😍

Todmorden Town Hall - proper job and just minutes from the Rochdale Canal 👍

Is it true that at one time the Lancashire/Yorkshire border ran right through this building, or is it just an urban myth? 🤔

Is it ever gonna stop raining? 🌧🌧🌧

Plenty of water in this section of the Rochdale Canal 😳

Sod it! Gone cruising ✌️

The Gauxholme No. 2 Viaduct on the Rochdale Canal 😍

Hey ho Canal & River Trust Canal & River Trust North West Canal & River Trust Boating Lovk 49 on the Rochdale Canal is filling up almost as fast as its emptying 👍

Some top notch chin-waggery going on as we go through Lock 51 on the Rochdale...

Alfred Street Lock 65 on the Rochdale Canal - have you cranked it yet? 😍

Is that the norm (safe) for it to he gushing out the wall on the mouth of the lock like that Canal & River Trust North West Canal & River Trust Boating Canal & River Trust? Lock 72 of the Rochdale Canal 👍

Morning Royal Mail, a large pile of dump mail this morning at ///evenly.drag.image

Including mail from United Utilities and Virgin

Canal Cottage on the Ashton Canal in Manchester ✌️

What is it about Manchester? 😍

Come on, help us settle back into this glorious northern city!

What are you top 5 suggestions of places to see and things to do for this little narrowboat family? 🤔

Already feels like home 😊

Be blessed!

Much Love,

Rich and the Bluebells x✌️

Ellesmere in Shropshire, on the Llangollen Canal, England ✌️
