Just a quick update with some photos taken around Little Venice.
Oh, and to mention something I forgot yesterday…. While filling up with water at 06:15 in the morning, a guy came along, stripped off to his boxer shorts and climbed into the canal. He lay down on the slope that was once used to get horses that had fallen into the canal, out again (photo of the horse ramp below). He lay in the water, right up to his neck for a few minutes before getting out, drying himself with a towel, dressing then wandering off again. You see all sorts around these parts if you get up early enough !!!!
Horse ramp - enabled horses that had fallen into the canal to get out.
Can also be used as a bath - if you are absolutely desperate!!!
