So when we recently did go boating we chose what must have been the busiest time of the year to be moving - August Bank Holiday Monday. Fine weather, the last full week of the kids holidays premium hire boat week all added up to a very busy Shropshire union canal.
The reason for the trip was a little out and back to give Teddy our grandson a taste of the canals and being on a boat. He seems to have developed a wish list of things to sit on/in and things to experience.
He made a bee line for the forecabin, a treasure trove of things to investigate
It was warm, very warm but the cuttings made the little trip very enjoyable
Rachel dropped into the role as if she'd never been away
The winding was of course overseen by boats coming both ways, to be expected when boating on a Bank Holiday
Teddy even tried Leia's bed for size !
The trip did generate an extra job - the toilet door was taken of its hinges by pulling rather than pushing. No big deal and door signs have been ordered, Teddy did say it was him but I doubt it
The next trip will be a bit longer and more purposeful as we will be heading off to the Stourbridge bonded warehouse for blacking ... but a job needs doing first.
