#boatlife #boatsthattweet Raleigh won’t start. Starter battery wouldn’t recharge removed it & I bought a new battery 💷. Then I looked closely at the wires. I’m not an expert but I think those wires need replacing too.

Swans, ducks and geese do not naturally eat bread. There are no baguette bushes or Wholemeal Bagels trees along the towpath. They eat it because you offer it. Offer a nutritional benefit. #boatlife #boatsthattweet #canal #wildlife #swan #duck #geese
