Not quite "Narrowboats at dawn"

Hey up,

Haven't downloaded all pics yet, so you will have to wait for the quiz.

My goose calls seem to be improving. Twice now I have, oh whats happend to the script?, honked at some geese, and they have started following Trundle. Result.

Ooooh we had a bit of canal rage this afternoon. It was almost a standoff at Bridge 67. Mick held his nerve, however. I was in the galley and saw a boat from the other direction coming to the bridge-hole, but it was obvious it was ours. Mick signalled to the other boater that it was our hole and we were coming through. What did he do? He opened his throttle , his bow went up,and he tried to get there first!!!! what a numpty. I had looked up from making tuna sarnies and saw him closer still and gulped. But as I say Mick held his nerve and the ELDERLY guy in 60footer backed off. As he went passed Mick stated that it was HIS bridge-hole( nah nah nee nah nah), but was met with a stony silence . I wanted to shout " you should have gone to Specsavers!".

The Audlem flight was as lovely as ever, and looking at the map and having gone on to Canal Route Planner, we are taking our battery(Dud) back via Worcester. New ground. Yippeee
