An evening walk beside the canal.



In the fading halflight of early evening, it's hard to capture in a picture the quiet beauty and tranquillity of the canal at Cheddleton, where the Churnet Valley runs between the hills on the edge of the Staffordshire moorlands. But I thank goodness that this canal was re-opened 30 years ago, and that the railway up the valley does - at least - have a tourist service on summer weekends.
