A R4 moment

Listening again to Excess Baggage which is about narrow-boating. The couple who do what you might call extreme narrow boating, keep their boat at Stone. Which is where I used to go narrow-boating with a friend's family when I was younger. This couple find the canals around that area a bit dull. Funny that. *g* Instead they prefer to do things like cross the Channel and even the Intra-Coastal Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico in their boat!

ETA They've just announced that tomorrow is Bletchley Park Reunion Day. I'm expecting to hear from the various members of [livejournal.com profile] stylishly_yours!

I love narrowboating. It's so relaxing.

I heartily recommend Narrow Dog to Carcassonne, Terry Darlington's first book, and I'm sure I'll be getting the new one pretty soon.
