The sun has failed to shine today and the temperature has been somewhat cooler than it has been for the past week. Although saying that there has still been plenty of people out and about.

We've turned five shared boats round and one hire boat.

Fred has been on his normal Friday duties of pumping the boats out etc. He does a really good job. Mick has been working on a our hire boats. Simon has been tacking the plates into place on the boat on the back. Matt is making good progress on Calstock and Bernard has been servicing engines.

A tree came down yesterday somewhere near the five locks at Drayton. It was cleared by about lunchtime today and we have seen a steady flow of traffic through since.

A friend of mine has just arrived into the country from New Zealand today, so I'm off over to Wheaton Aston to see her tonight.

Have a good evening.

Regards,

David
