Writer and historian Dan Jones navigates Britain’s longest canal to be built by just one company, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Built to link the economically booming counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, this 19th-century superhighway was experimental for the time, and made Liverpool the busiest port in the world. In Burnley, the cotton capital of the 19th century, Dan visits the world’s only steam-powered cotton mill, where enough cloth was woven each year to reach to the moon and back two-and-a-half times.

Not got, so wet in a long time!

WOW! I got super wet during that cycle! It was sunny one second, then the next had thunder and lightning. It was that wet, the roads turned into rivers! But at least it give me a good reason, to try my new Samsung Galaxy S20 5G mobile phones camera, that I got last week! So far, well pleased with it!

Yes, I was still smiling even in the rain! Since I was out doing something that I love, plus it was warm rain which always helps! 🙂
