Diglis Basin, Worcester, this afternoon: For a "holiday boater" the Fox certainly gets about!

I love pictures when Ma Nature sends the right weather to turn ordinary into something quite stunning. I do tend to roam with Camera now as these small ones are so light. Wonderful sunset last night up here near Tebay services but still driving...9am start from Dover, M25 carpark rest, visit mum's grave then upwards through snarling slow road works.. In bed silly o'clock for 7am start to-day..Paisley final destination but stopping to get car serviced at Glasgow first(had disagreement with Swansea garage and cancelled it there) Few days there sorting out old friends problems then long drive back to my tiny terraced cottage... Then load up some furniture I'm donating daughter in law and off to Brum....decided if get rid again of stuff then it'll lighten life.... I'm catching up with the Fox for travelling.. In May have boat trip booked, taking my old friend on fishing boat for few days...that'll be interesting as he cannot walk very well and has other medical problems making away times rather challenging...but he helped me in my darkest hour....

Good morning Ross,
I don't always enjoy the writings that you post, but that's maybe only just me, however your photo's are often really stunning, and I think that you could have been a rather good photographer instead of a busdriver, driving screaming kids to- and from school on the icy roads.
Keep these beautiful scenic photo's coming please.
Peter.

Will post trip pics next week, probably around Fri-Sun.
Taking photos is fun, especially if I have a reason, in this case 'photo-journal' so people here can see this stretch of canal. Making it professional could kill the fun.
No screaming kids (well, sometimes I let them have screaming contests), all in all my passengers are well-behaved, generally leave the bus clean & tidy. It's not a bad job for now.
Cloudy and rainy now, until Saturday. Can't complain, we've had 5 days of sunshine.

Isn't driving a bus on icy roads while being responsible for a busload of kids killing the fun of driving a bus then ? Here it's cloudy too and the forcast predicts rain, but they said that we'll have 2 weeks of sunny weather in a row around july . Whatever they say, I don't trust them anyway, they're all a bunch of liars if you ask me (and even if you don't ask me ). Peter.

Back at our parking lot now, rather a long run 0730-1600, Kidderminster-Ashwood Marina, 9 locks upwards. To the pub this evening for a meal - first pub this week, apart from a quick half in a pub in Stroud last Saturday.
Taxi to order, some firewood given us to be sawn up, packing for return journey... all in all a successful holiday.
Oops - nearly forgot! Engine oil change. Will give the wee beastie an hour to cool down first.

Everytime this thread reaches the top of the recently updated list I misread the title Patty's tights .... does have a ring to it ...... sort of puts it on a par with the washing line knicker nicker

I thought this section was about proper liveaboards, there is a section for part time holiday boaters. Which I am myself of course.

We've had Patty's lights on every evening this week. Sadly time to unwind them from the railings and bring them inside.
