On a wonderful day in very late March I am writing this blog.
The sun is amazing and we all wish we could be on the cut again.
We were very lucky and had to move a boat for its engineering last week and so had two wonderful free days boating!
The sun was out and it felt as if Covid was a distant memory.
Well until we arrived at the boat yard and it was back to the masks and distancing again.
It was amazing to just enjoy the sun, spring, birds and early flowers.
As Easter and our path back to boating is fast approaching, we are all eager to start cruising again.
Our stock of boat shares although I have had a few additions they are fast disappearing.
If you are keen to purchase a share then do not delay!
With the end of winter in sight and the joys of spring upon us.
I have seen my first Brimstone butterfly and my first lamb.
The insects are on the wing in the sun the birds are singing and performing their mating rituals.
Life does indeed feel more positive than at any time in the recent past.
What wonderful weather we have had in February from Snow and Ice to Sun and warm temperatures.
The spring really does seem to have arrived and it is so welcome during these stay at home times.
Now we have some idea of a date to cruise again we are all busy planning our escapes on the canal.
What joy to be set free in the spring!
On a cool and blustery day I am starting this blog.
February is the start of longer days and the planning of those trips on the boat during the coming summer.
If we are lucky and the vaccine allows us we can start to think about our holidays.
Fireside planning and is almost as good as the actual trip.
Happy planning
February is one step nearer to spring.
The snow, ice and rain of the winter has us firmly in its grasp but it also has the promise of spring.
The bulbs are starting to poke their heads above the snow and leaves in the woods and in our gardens the snow drops are in flower.
Although we are still in lock down sales are very busy with enquiries still coming in.
Currently our stock of shares for sale are at an all time low but it is lovely to chat to prospective owners.

2020 has been the strangest and disconcerting year.
Now with the news of the Oxford vaccine our hopes can return.
Although we know that the next few months will be very difficult for many at least there is light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Our boats are undergoing their winter maintenance and being prepared for when we can at last boat again.
It is wonderful to start 2021 with hope in our hearts again.
As 2020 closes we can look back to a time many of us never thought to witness but with the wonderful human spirit and ingenuity we have produced a vaccine.
Early 2021 will hopefully be the beginning of a change for us all and allow us the return of our freedoms.
Boating has been a wonderful relief and whilst out on the cut life felt something like normal.
I look forward to going out on the cut in the Spring and not having to fear contact with others.
With the fire alight and the cosy evenings in, we can imagine the world as we knew it and hope that it may soon return.
Science and human ingenuity looks as if it may help us to escape this year of restrictions.
After a beautiful autumn we are now starting to feel the cooler days and frosty nights and the wonders of nature never cease to amaze us.
Have a relaxing and quiet Christmas and enjoy our lovely countryside.
