Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Thursday. Non of the promised frost this morning. Just as well, the rosemary is in bloom and the mint is growing, I'll soon have some of both fresh for cooking. Wonderful.

It's mild out, with a gentle breeze, but there is a threat of a drop or two of rain.

Two days to the rugby. Ireland v Italy first on Saturday.

Have a happy day everyone.

Bye Minty, have a lovely day xx

Thanks boaty - Blimey, the Stroudwater Navigation looks like it was completely filled in at parts? I take it the term 'We're going to need a bigger bucket' was used more than once?

Have to go and do something resembling work now, have a good day everyone and maybe I'll pop by again, eyelids permitting

Bye Ratty, have a good'un and come back soon! :-) x

Most of it was derelict peas. We have had to do a great deal of work. Some of it is now in water, in some places we have had to build a new section of canal. Many locks have had to be dug out and restored to working order. All the towpaths are being restored and brought up to a standard for use by mobility scooters, prams, walkers and cyclists.

If you google Saul Junction you can see where our Heritage Centre is.

Hi Baldric, Bye Baldric :-)

Incredible the difference boaty, just been looking at the before and after pics:

We were going to go back to Norfolk rather than abroad later in the year (as we have the dog now), but might try and sway the OH to visit down there instead - looks beautiful.
Anyhoo, must get up and do - have a lovely day boaty :-) x and All xx

[waterboatman]

I hope it lasts long enough for you to enjoy it mate.

Time I shuffled off to find something to avoid doing.

Have a happy day everyone. :o}

[waterboatman]

It'll be a pleasure to show you both around peas. The dog too! :o}
