Hi
This morning we pulled away from Rugby leaving the high spots of the midlands behind us,and joined the gin swilling southerners and immediately you could tell the difference, gone had the cheery "good mornings from boaters and other folk on the canal, Gone had the sedate pace we had been traveling at replaced by the "got to get there first attitude". Unfortunate but that's how it goes. also mooring has become a problem as there are none, tonight we are moored in a nice spot out in the wilderness because all the recognised moorings marked on the map are filled with boats that have been their since the millennium leaving no room at all for cruising boats. I blame the housing market and the fact that some people find living on a boat cheaper that in a house. I don't want to go through that saga I could be here all night The CRT notices for mooring "UP NORTH" they just say Mooring 24 hours, or 48 hours, seven days what ever the period might be. But here it also has the word Free or no charge WHY!! everything here is about money. Oh I am glad I don't live here uts very nice for a visit but that's it. Today we also passed some very extensive work going on at the side of the canal at first thought it was a large housing estate But no it was is the new High Speed Rail so much work and the cost FOR WHAT so some daft bugger can get to London 20 mins faster what a bloody waste of tax payers money what DH thought of that one its not even as if it was bringing employment have the work is being contracted out to the EU. I have just been told to calm down...... Anyway the scenery is beautiful and the canals are nice What I have to do is continue being a missionary and bring joy and love to these heathens I may even try and spread some happiness. just because they are miserable why should we.
Its now 20.11 the sun is still beating down my solar panels are giving the batteries a good charge Noreen wants to watch Casualty tonight.
Keep Smiling "we will"
