Shallow Pockets Brimming with Territorial Cows

So the stereotypes about English weather are wholly and completely true... it does rain 90% of the time. However most days have a nice mix of clouds and sun and I finally took advantage of a sunny lunch to head out of the business park and take some long overdue pictures of the beautiful country I currently call home.

 

 Apparently I sat perched on the stacked stone fence for a bit too long because I sincerely pissed off this guy.  He started running at me stomping and jumping... so I thought maybe it was time to go ahead and find some other picture worthy spots.

 

 

  

A canal! Did you know they have canals all over England and they all connect?  Apparently they dug them hundreds of years ago and used them to transport goods around the country.  None of them are very deep- they had to be shallow enough for horses to pull the rafts- and nowadays there are canal boats all over the UK. I'm determined to try and finagle my way into a ride someday.
