I’ve been on holiday, narrowboating the English countryside. Going down the Shropshire Union Canal, we came to a stop in Audlem, a nice little town in Cheshire. After a heavy downpour, leaving us soaked to the skin, drifted away, the evening turned out to be quite pleasant, and we went for a drink at the Shroppie Fly, a canalside pub in the middle of the town.

Sitting at a table just a few feet away from the canal, I spotted this group having a nice time. Wishing to catch a candid shot of them, I placed my small camera (being on holiday, I had just taken along with me a light mirrorless), casually at the table pointing back at the pub. Talking to my wife, I pressed the release button and got this picture, which I think summons the spirit of the English countryside in an excellent way.
