There's a pretty narrowboat!

A quick trip to Skipton today for a rummage in my favourite antique shop.  I purchased a golden painted West German candelabra.... a pretty rosebud teacup, saucer and cake plate (coz I really needed another one!) and a purple Victorian glass perfume bottle.... (because it was pretty... and a bargain).... and then I had a little wander along the canal for a blip.
Wouldn't this be prettier with blue sky though!
And what do you think that brown box is for on the back of the boat.. with a hole in it? 
An early night.... and an early train to catch in the morning:)))
