Out on a cycle ride in late April we took the opportunity to check the Sustrans Route 24 signage last week. Peter had been out the following week re-signing the route. It has to be said that he and Jeff Scholefield really did deserve their award for the signing of the routes through Salisbury.
Another weekend we spent camping in Winterslow when going to the Barn dance in the village to support Uganda project. Following day we were fly fishing (here's Gill casting but not catching!) for the first time courtesy of John and Sally.
Recently spent two weeks on Solong the canal boat. Picking the boat up at Blisworth Tunnel boats we headed North up through Braunston to Nottingham. Stopped here to let Peter and Joan escape back home. Met up with nephew Tom and fed him an almighty steak. Picked up Chris and headed towards Leicester and Loughborough. Rained more than we would have liked but I still managed to end up with the back of my ears burnt. A great few weeks away and met up with some real characters on the cut (canal). Tales of the cut included the elderly lady on Gracie who for the first time has just bought a twin tub. and the old gents, one the son of Chocolate Charlie (he ran milk to the Cadbury's factory in his boat) who has decided that he is unable to cope on the boat and is considering buying a house on land.
