I am a winner then. I am off on Monday to work at reading festival.
7 night a camping at a festival won't be a happy time if it rains. however it will be great if the sun is shining.

So... tell me... has the weather been sunny and dry since 9th August when I had to come back to Finland? Bit colder here, just +5 Centigrade this morning. It rained about four times when we were in England during June-July-and first two weeks of August, but only slightly, nowhere near enough to affect the water level in rivers or canals.
Which is why I say CRT are not entirely to blame in their decisions to close canals. There is an awful lot of water that hasn't come down from the sky.
Finland has, so everyone keeps telling me, also had a rain-free, very hot Summer, and one child on my bus told me the potato crop is gonna be shit (his dad is a potato farmer) because of the lack of water. Expect the price of potatoes to be going up!!

You'll be able to see the weather we had for yourselves this weekend - last set of photos loading onto Google Photos. I'll see if I can get them all up by Sunday (4 sets - 80 pics per set).

Real chance missed there Foxy! |

Well... they're not bad pics if you have an interest in canals... however, best seen on a table top computer or laptop - I don't think Magnetman's old Motorola can handle new technology. There are some photos that even I'd say are 'cracking'. |

Whilst you lot were in bed at 5am (with the exception of Andyberg leaking all our details to the Chinks via the 'telephone exchange' (a box in Church Street) ), I was driving over this bridge:  I like to take the little road on the south side of the river to get to my first departure point, I can amble along at 40mph and the scenery is nicer. |
