Notifications

We get regular email information from Canal and River Trust about any problems affecting navigation on the canal

These include broken locks, fallen trees, blocked Elsan points and dead bodies. 

We usually get two or three notifications of dead bodies each year. This year there have been five or more.

Most of these deaths occur at locks as they are very dangerous. Most are boaters, most are either inebriated or drugged up when they fall in.

I thought you must be joking about the "corpses" but obviously not. Hopefully you haven't ever found one yourself.

Rain at last.

We finally have a decent amount of rain, nice and gentle, the sort that soaks into the soil and nourishes it. You can almost hear the plants...
