NUNEATON IN THE SUNSHINE

It has been a very busy few days, driving to London on Thursday with all the gear for Cavalcade then back to the boat on Friday, then another busy day on Saturday with our annual 'day trip' involving our own boat and two day hire boats on the Ashby Canal. This is an annual event and involves people of all ages ranging from 3 years old to 86 years old, a trip up the Ashby from Stoke Golding to Market Bosworth and return followed by a BBQ and sing song (okay then - karaoke!!) back at the local home of the organisers. A long day cruising today, seven and a half hours, (long by our normal four hours a day cruising) as I had to get back close to home as it is off to London in the van again tomorrow to pick up all the gear I took down on Thursday!

And back to Nuneaton, the sun shone as we passed through today but, unfortunately, Nuneaton looks no better in the sunshine than it does in the rain.  Why is it that some towns make a showpiece of their canal frontage whilst others totally ignore the canal?
