Time for a change

18th May

I think I'm going to change the style of this blog for a bit. It's been getting a bit of a chore for me, not what I came boating for, and risks getting too much of the "Got up, ate breakfast, went and bought a paper" style.

I'll still label the posts with where we are, and try to pass on observations about boating in that area, but otherwise I'll try more just to burble on about whatever strikes me, more the way I used to in the early days.

And yes, I'll try to post more pictures, and it may well be every day for a bit and then a gap.

The hassle with the youths at Hartshill didn't develop any further, but I'm not sorry I rang the police about it. It helps if we report this stuff, so that the police and BW get a picture of where the problems are.

We've come on to Newbold, along a very busy canal; much busier than we recall from earlier years here. There were quite a few boats tied here and there in Nuneaton, which we've not seen before, and All Oaks Wood was very busy.

Dave Ballinger (Load of Hay) rendezvoused with us here to collect the old EcoFan we've sold him; hope it works as well for him as it has for us.

Shopping in Rugby tomorrow, then on to Hillmorton on Thursday.
