I was really disappointed with the kippers from Whitby, thought they had a "resiny" tang to them and then I see they're using Bedmax horse bedding shavings for the smoke source, which is mostly pine form my experience, so I think I'll stick with Craster or Manx ones ?

Anyone famous in your village.?

Glad to see he also got a singing license. Does he appear behind the bar?

Jane and I spend a lot of money at Barbara Windsor’s pub hoping to catch her pulling pints but she was never there.

Few more from Whitby. The girls were together and both dressed like cabbages. Great atmosphere

Can I suggest that you take a ride to the lock flight just along the canal. You will have a great time watching the hire boats getting churned!
Ask me how I know...Our boat weighed 16 tonnes, and that's Jan holding VERY tight on the rope!

Neighbour asked when I was coming round to sweep up the blossom from our cherry tree that's landed in his garden ? I just replied "Leave it, it's hiding all your dog's turds that you never pick up !"

Thanks.

We had lunch at a canal side restaurant at Villeneuve Les Beziers and watched a man trying to enter a lock with access through a narrow arched road bridge.

He hit the wall on both sides of the lock entrance, reversed into a moored boat then got stuck crossways across the canal.

He had five eight failed attempts to negotiate the bridge before withdrawing and taking “a run at it”. With the help of two people with boat hooks fending him off the sides of the bridge he finally made it, to cheers and applause from the French diners!

We were on a CCP Aire at Neuville Les Beziers, then moved on to Camping Neptune at Grau d’Agde.

Sunday roast a la escosse… lemon sole, langoustine tails, haggis fritter and chips.. washed down with a rather tidy white!

An early evening riverbank saunter behind our village, literally a 3 minute walk, feeling blessed

That time of year when Berties wire wheels and inner frame and workings get a bloody good Bob clean.
The pics were before the cleaning by the way.

Sounds even more fun than watching the "weekenders" going in and out of the lock at Port Solent. When I used to go in for a refuel, I used to do it mid-week when it was quieter, particularly as I was on my own.
