Canals and Sheep
My mom, Layla and I had heard about a canal a small walk away from Harlaxton. We had drove by it, but never really stopped to walk on it. We decided today was going to be the day we tried it out. We walked through Harlaxton Village and passed the big highway that would take us to Grantham, the biggest town close to us. We walked through a rural area with lots of farms. One of these farms was the home of a curious sheep. It came over to the fence and watched us walk by. We had to grab a picture and that is the sheep “smiling” at you. After a while we got to the canal. When we got there we were met with a sign talking about blue algae that was toxic! The canal was very pretty and the water was slow-moving and calm. The canal went about 25 miles to Nottingham. The bridge you see in the photo is called the Harlaxton Drift Bridge. When we were walking back we stopped at the post office. Inside there are lots of things including fruits and vegetables. We bought carrots and milk which is very unlike back at home where we would only buy stamps and envelopes at the post office. Nothing like a day full of sheep and canals.
