#TBThursday - Sees us journeying back to 2019 when Alarum took their show Acts of Abandon to the beautiful Chesterfield Canal for two performances.
One for @cctrust and one at Retford Little Theatre. Lots of ‘bums on seats’ at Retford which was so very satisfying to see!

Damselflies (such as these banded demoiselles) are similar to dragonflies but are smaller with slimmer bodies. They're predatory creatures, eating flies and other insects

When exiting a lock, and there's no-one else in sight who wants to use the lock after you, please take time to check all paddles are fully closed and close the gates behind you. #CanalLife #BoatLife
