The Cobb’s Wren

The rippling, meandering Llangollen canal
So supremerly serene
Betwixt gorgeous, gorged valley ravines
Amongst the pretty pastures green

My husband & I hired a long narrow boat
slowing up the pace of hectic life for a week
Whilst we marvelled at what Wales has to offer us 
Mooring up in little marinas joining in with the boating clique 

Following on through the currented canals
Narrowing only to a single file
Chugging along in Cobb’s Wren
Passing other boaters with salute & a smile

Crossing over the Pontcysylite Aqueduct
Awe inspiring jaw-drop below
Lighting our front beacon,
blowing our horn
to warn oncoming boaters thru the tunnels as we go

One has to keep vigilant
There may be narrow boats ahead
Racing onwards in our direction
to bump into our forwards tread

Such beautiful scenerey beckoning our distant views
Friesian dairy cows drinking in the canal edges
Greeting our welcome with Welsh ‘Moos’

What a wonderful Welsh/English holiday 
Learning narrow boating,
having a great time
This green & red painted long boat
Has been a treasurable memorable devine
