A slight distraction from the main purpose of my blog, but, I could not resist this picture taken today at the bottom of my garden in Hopwas.Now, down to the main purpose of the blog, GUELROSE will be on the move again next week!!! After having not moved since October last year!!! we shall be setting sail on Wednesday next week to take a trip up the Ashby Canal and back. This will be followed by another cruise in July when we will be taking 2 weeks to take the boat down to the Thames in readiness for the IWA National Festival at Beale Park over the Bank Holiday weekend. (I shall be at Beale Park for 3 weeks as I am the new Waterspace Manager - this has entailed learning a lot of new computer programs including Microsoft Access and Turbocad - just the thing to pass away those long dark cold winter nights!!)
In between us taking the boat down to the Thames and going to Beale Park my son will be cruising the boat on the Thames and Kennet and Avon Canal for a week - times have changed, a few years ago it would have been him and a few mates and several dozen crates of lager - now it's the wife, two children and friends also with children!
Hopefully, dongle permitting (if I can remember where I put it) I will be posting a few updates of our travels. You get so used to the speed of wireless broadband that waiting for the dongle to connect is like watching paint dry. Now, also, where did I put that extension lead which means I will be able to locate the dongle on the highest point of the boat..... Ummmmmm?
Speak to you soon
