Hope you can read it ok - it says "you are about to go under HS2", and this is it ....
What a lovely bit of the canal - which could be destroyed. I find it very difficult to justify the argument of ploughing up the countryside in the pursuit of a couple of minutes saved on one's journey time - when we spend our day languishing in the slow lane, with a top speed of 4mph, downhill with the wind behind us. Dave's view however is completely opposite, and fully supports it. Hmmmmm!!!
Beefur, with Matilda Rose behind.
We haven't seen a boat today, after the flurry of activity of boats going up and down the Napton Locks before the stoppage started today. Yesterday we saw a hire boat from Anderson at Middlewich heading south. I hope the realise about the locks shutting today - cos they can't now get back. I suspect it's one of the hire fleet which has been sold at the end of the season, we've seen alot of hire boats shuffling between hire bases, and new owners taking newly purchased boats to their new mooring. We had a lovely view for bonfire night - far enough away not to upset the cats and dogs, but we could still see the illuminations.
Well I certainly didn't expect to be dead-heading on 7th November, after planting the flowers back in May, but they're still going strong ....
Fuschias & geraniums still going strong

The cost of less than one kilometre of HS2 would be enough to clear B.W.'s backlog of maintenance. Makes you think doesn't it.
