Congrats! You’ve made it half-way through the week 🙌
It goes without saying that we’re huge advocates for spending time by, or on, water. Make sure to set aside some time out this week to get some fresh air and take notice of the world around you 💙

Day 14 Our last day. Handed back Kitty to Black Prince in Stoke-on-Trent this morning. Our crew left us and we had one last stop off before home, Middleport Pottery. Lovely old pottery. Now it’s time to plan for our next boating adventure @CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands

As Hibiscus Rising was being installed in one part of Leeds, in another, the major installation 'A Light and Sound Transit' by Hans Peter Kuhn was being decommissioned. 15years apart, these artworks could not be more different - but a line can be drawn between them.
