Birchills as you have never seen it before

I have photographed the narrowboat Birchills many time before, partly sunk amongst reeds at the Black Country Living Museum - unfortunately I didn't post it on Blip, though the reeds featured on 4 February, and I featured it on 11 February on my 365project site (I'm sure I have put it on Flickr several times in the past). I last photographed it only a few days ago, but today I heard that it had been re-floated, so despite rain, wind and cold I went down and photographed it as I've never seen it before, and probably not many others have (it is the middle boat, the name isn't very clear, at least on this side). There is still a lot more to be done to renovate it properly (donations welcome I'm sure!), but it is great to see what has been done already, in just a few days, and with little prior warning.
