Is it too early to be anticipating Spring given that it's only the 17th January? How typically English that we should go from -10 degrees one week to +10 a couple of weeks later. Needless to say the ice is all gone and the frostbite a distant memory. People have even noticed a few early signs of
The sun's shining and it's feeling warmer at last! So now could be a good time to unveil my latest bright idea.....(Angus cringes whenever I say that...) I thought we could set up a new chapter of the Hell's Angels – a narrowboat version – we could call it the Canal's Angels. Obviously
It's that time of year again – the one where you get really contemplative – looking back over the year and wondering where the time has flown to, alternatively the other option is to forget contemplation and get drunk! This year I reckon I could be doing a bit of both. This time last year we had
