The Brentford Rally was the first rally appearance of Fulbourne under it's current ownership, we featured on the front cover of Waterways World having a meeting on the back deck to work out what to do with it!

Boston Manor park was the location of the 1986 IWA National Waterways Festival, this is not the IWA plaque though

I went to Grimethorpe a few years ago and a bigger dump I have never been to (It was well after the colliery closure), I can only hope that it has improved!

On the Witham Navigable drains you can go from New York To Boston!

For peeps who use Flickr for photo storage and linking Flickr are drastically reducing the amount of photo storage on their free accounts from 1TB down to 1000 photos. From January you will not be able to upload photos if you have 1000 photos stored and from February all but your newest 1000 photos will be deleted. To avoid this you will need to upgrade to their (Paid for) Pro account https://www.dpreview.com/news/0022573882/flickr-makes-changes-to-free-paid-accounts-with-new-login-revamped-storage

What does it matter where they come from?

If I buy from Amazon and collect from the amazon locker at my local co-op it doesn't cost any more than delivering to my home.

RCR have been in the boat reflaoting business for a few years now, I believe that they have a contract with CRT for boat recovery http://www.rivercanalrescue.co.uk/2018/01/18/rescue-figures-increase/#.W9XHFvZ2uUk http://www.canaljunction.com/news/sunken-boats-should-be-floated-more-quickly/2386 http://www.rivercanalrescue.co.uk/other-services/rescues-refloats-emergencies/

Castelnaudray in 1988

It was in the genes, My father had a couple of Princesses and before that the 1800, they were great for us being a big family. Being company cars they were always new, would have hated to have an old one!

By co-incidence I came across this picture to day as part of my project to digitised all my prints, it was taken at the Bluebell Railway at Sheffield Park in May 1982. Sadly my car was the Marina 😞
