It's here (Spring) & my boat is still floating, the Sharpness Canal is looking pretty, I'm looking forward to cruising the system. Long days to Saul Junction & Slim Bridge. Weekends in Worcester. Trips to Stratford and Warwick, perhaps to Pontycillit.
The Bees have survived the winter, both seem quite strong so it should be a good spring
MOT'ed my BMW and my ShineRay is going well, so watch out world!
