This time a year ago

Well, all right, just under a year ago. Jan and I had borrowed our boat back from Ally and Ben and gone for a trip up to Stoke Bruerne and back. On the way we'd spotted a tree down across the towpath. As it was still there when we returned we stopped for me to tidy it up.

I think Ally told me that they had stored the logs in a friend's garage. If they haven't used them by now, they'll be ripe for burning!

We're planning to spend a few days on board after Christmas: we may well repeat the SB trip.
