Reflections

Sunny but cold. Off to Tardis Two today for an interior clean-up following a busy weekend. On reflection the weekend went well and we discovered......1) The Tardis Two throttle will only stay on 10,000 or 15,000 revs, refusing to accommodate anything in-between. Tickover at 10,000 is far too fast and gives a perfectly reasonable cruising speed but is too fast for locks or mooring. I've asked MCC to make some adjustments......2) winding holes are too far apart, particularly when ignorant pillocks moor in some of them........3) The Trent and Mersey is no great shakes unless your interests include breweries, cooling towers ancient pumping stations and sheep.....4) It would be great if the newly formed Canal and River Trust could prioritise cutting back the overhanging trees or make the canal one-way only.......5) Make water points accessible. The photo's show a navigator-eye view of the canal and the splendour of Shobhall Fields with literally thousands of daffodils and kingfisher trail start/finish.I am still recovering from my soprano-inducing life saving gear.
