Back on board Solong
A lovely week when I at last experienced that magicalfeeling as seen in the photos in Canal magazines. Sitting in the bow with book and ipod I was in complete bliss. The world was passing by, squirrels on the path, a foxe in the field, kestrels in the trees and sheep in the fields.
Foxton was a scream with Jimmy being prop bound by a wayward sweat shirt. Meanwhile Gill had to rope up to a Tug to stabilise the boat. Any excuse for Jimmy to get up to his arm pits in rubber gauntlets and soon the prop was clear.
Down to see the inclined plane, we then went to Bridge 61 - yes this was the boater pub where with common sense Rhian and Gill went off to change for dinner. Meanwhile David had a thirst and I never one to so no kept on pouring down "Steaming Billy" - as recommended by Bruce Coleman. By the time that Rhian and Gill returned it was more like "Steaming Jimmy".
Highlights were the baked potatoes in the stove, kestrels, king fishers (not too many) and just being on the cut!
Roll on May when we will be back on Solong.
