  1. I've been loving saying things to myself like been there,done that etc Also loved seeing places where I want to go soon when I can !Thank you.?

  3. We like experimenting with bread recipes(well,husband does)but haven't tried a sour dough yet.We're also lucky that there are a fair few small bakeries nearby.We tried a corn & sunflower seed bread this week which was absolutely yummy,fab taste & texture.
  4. The manager & Carol at Overwater have kept me entertained during the lockdowns with quizzes & Karaokes.They've kept an eye on our boat-especially recently with the changing water levels due to the problems at bridge 80.They've put lecky cards in for us & have basically gone the extra mile to help.
  5. There are some very nice folk over there who are pretty harmless...myself included.? I like a mooch in both places.
  6. 3d to spend on the penny tray at the local newsagent.Those were the days...?

  8. Who knows...?but my reply was to a question about a physical barrier at Ellesmere.
  9. Walked down to the end of the Ellesmere arm & to the services today which were being used.No sign at all of any barriers.
  10. We live in Ellesmere & haven't seen or heard about any physical barriers across the canal.
  11. Cannot believe that not one person realised the scent from the poop was akin to Canal no 5...
  12. Posted a canal picture Christmas card today with a bit of a 'chat' about Alvechurch in it.Glad he's enjoying the cards/letters etc.
  13. Had a chuckle about the timed pumpout machine,we put a kitchen timer on the roof so we know how much time we have left !
  14. Still moored at Overwater,coming up to two years now.16 years of owning a boat(from new)& our first marina.Couldn't ask for a nicer,better place.We're really happy there & they've been great during lockdowns-keeping an eye on our boat,topping up electrickery etc.Lovely place.
  15. Duck ? You must think we're all quackers !? PS.I can see a blue duck.
  16. Am I in the minority of enjoying the Wolvo flight ? We've been up & down sooo many times over the years(we used to moor in Oldbury),so did them many times.Had the early morning lack of water problems, but frequently had CRT help.Really enjoyed these locks due to the changes in scenery.
  17. I like it ! They've picked up on the fact that we need cheering up.
  18. I have the exact same pic from the first time we went through.The next time was somewhat more dull.
  19. That's an awfully sexist comment ! Shame on you ! I'm a girl(ish).
  20. We actually really enjoy the 21 which we've done loads of times.There can be a lack of water problem if you set off early up or down.But...CRT are usually about to sort things out.
  21. Been blowing a hooly here at Audlem. Put the heating on for a hour,then had to turn it off as was then a tad too hot ! Quite a few boats nearby had fires lit.
