I think it's gorgeous as it is !

Haribo sweeties as we went under the bridge heading for Sherborne Wharf.No,we didn't eat them as we had no idea where they'd been... Stones chucked in Tipton & as they were doing it,a police car drew up on the bridge.The lads could have been contenders for the Olympic sprint races.

Sarah Hughes takes me back to when I was teaching near Sedgley & lived in Woodsetton.

We crossed the Wash in 2022 & Daryl was brilliant-knew what he was doing/ talking about & great company.We had sunny,calm weather which was a bonus-fab experience.

Husband used to volly in Brum til' we moved to Shropshire.He used to help litter picking,glass collecting from the pubs etc-was always an extra body as didn't want to do/take an individual's paid job.Some of the roles now seem very much to be instead of paying a C&RT worker.

I've done that puzzle ! I then donated it to a charity shop near Brum.

Hi Nick,we're going with third time lucky getting onto the Lancaster this summer.1st time-big hole in the canal opened up.2nd time-we got as far as Tarleton before CRT cancelled the crossings due to gale force winds.The next crossings weren't for another fortnight due to the tides ! We may see you en route/there.Fingers crossed.

Nope 😁

Trying to be funny or clever...? Not funny,not clever.

Just realised I could see you ! We're moored on the wall to your left & will be heading along the G&S (again) tomorrow including a Sainsburys stop. Have a good trip.Our trip along the partings was interesting...lots of trees to negotiate & it was a verrrrrry quick turn onto the partings themselves.Stay safe.

We did the partings today(from Tewkesbury) & have never seen so many trees...& I mean trees !

We waved at you today,we're moored at (nearly put on,but it sounded cruel) the Swan's Neck.

A pub we used to visit when we cruised into Brum most weekends(we moored at Titford Pumphouse when we were both working & it was our weekend treat to go to town).A proper pub.

Went up the Ashby for the first time in years last month-seemed to be far more long termers without moorings than there were 8 years ago.Lots of the nice mooring spots were full with the same boats both ways.Had a night in Trinity marina to use their laundry & they are having problems at the moment.Their cctv shows boats moored outside using kayaks/row boats to come into the marina in the early hours of the morning.They move around the marina stopping every so often but haven't been seen doing anything apart from taking a boat hook.
