Missed a few days in my Bloganuary challenge, so hopefully I'll find time to catch up. But with plans for a forthcoming trip to Bradford-Upon-Avon in the pipeline, here's a memory of the area looking a little greener than I'll be seeing it. A floating trader is not an unheard of sight on Britain's canals, neither was this the 1st time I'd seen them. But this particular encounter did lead me to an interesting development in my line of thinking of re-establishing traditional trade networks based on small-scale shipping which I've outlined in previous posts. But what if we combined it with the idea of a floating trader to recreate the traditional business model of the travelling merchant, using traditional cargo boats to set up shop in different locations? True, it would still not be a means of meeting the logistical needs of large mass market companies, but it would afford small local businesses the opportunity to have their products taken to local markets beyond their normal reach. True, much the same could just as well be achieved with online marketing, but that simply wouldn't replace the joy of local community markets. Who else would like to see more of this? #TransportTuesday #TimelessTuesday #TravelTuesday #Bloganuary #BradfordOnAvon #BradfordUponAvon #KennetandAvonCanal #narrowboat #floatingtrader #canalboat #smallbusiness #localmarket #localism #distributism #TraditionalistTuesday #GreatBritain #traditionalism (at Bradford-upon-Avon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQH0WjtDS5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Transport Tuesday throwback to a double dose of purple train - but not on the Elizabeth Line! Southern Railway built & British Railways rebuilt West Country class 34027 Taw Valley running as No 70 Queen Elizabeth II for the Platinum Jubilee is seen during the Severn Valley Railway's Autumn Steam Gala backing down onto its train of ex-GWR carriages as a West Midlands Railway class 172/3 accelarates out of Kiddminster Town station. As I write this post, Taw Valley is currently being given another experimental livery in the form of the Southern Railway's MOD wartime livery, which, although authentic, was never actually carried by the locomotive during its working life. So that should be an interesting one to capture, especially as I missed seeing Sir Nigel Gresley in its wartime black livery. #TransportTuesday #TravelTuesday #PurpleTrain #SteamTrainsOfGreatBritain #ukrailscene #gb_railfeatures #trb_express #SevernValleyRailway #railways_of_our_world #railfeaturesuk #WestMidlandsRailway #QueenElizabethII #steamlocomotive #uk_railscene #BritishRailways #heritagerailway #class172 #turbostar #WestMidlandsTrains #PastAndPresent #TraditionalistTuesday (at Kidderminster - Uk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-H1HPIS2H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
