The President Arrives.

Friday 20th April 2012.
On Sunday at midday the steam powered Narrowboat President and Butty Kildare are scheduled to pass through Fradley on route to London where they will take part in the Queens Diamond Jubilee Pageant, volunteers will be on hand to operate the locks and try and keep the peace, Fradley is hectic enough on a Sunday, add this pair to the mix and it should be fun.

All gone in 4 days.

Wednesday we had 7 duckings around, Thursday morning 6, Thursday afternoon 5 and 3 were left this morning, late afternoon she had 1 left, the crows are taking them, we have some crow deterrents arriving on Monday but it will be too late for this lot.

My mother is back in her bungalow recovering well from the replacement knee operation she had at Oswestry Orthopaedic, top hospital, when we are happy she is fully mobile again and doesn't need us to do a flying visit by car we can get out of the marina and off on our travels.
