Free from snow and nearly from ice at Milford

Moored Milton, Staff & Worcs Canal

Lazy day today, but hey look….

No snow!!  Don’t look to the right of No Problem though, that is thick ice.. it looks like it has melted but that is the remnants of the rain we had this morning sitting on top of it.

We walked the dogs on Cannock Chase returning just after lunch when I heard a crunch, crunch and sure enough a narrowboat appeared from behind us.. not too bad for him because that is where we had broken the ice a few days ago, but he did struggle to get round the corner once past us in the virgin ice.

That opened the flood gates, and two more boats appeared from the Great Haywood direction, so hooray we are off tomorrow!

Just trying to get the blog moved from blogspot and set up on my own server again, so one or two problems have reared up.  One main one is that readers having a problem with the RSS feed in a couple of the readers.  If you hare having trouble trying to discover the feed, type in http://www.choiceforum.co.uk/blog/atom.xml That is where the feed can be found.

It is interesting reading some of the comments from the last blog about continuous cruisers now being given ‘travellers’ status by the Government.. have a read by dropping down to the last blog post’s comments.  Another reader of the blog sent me an email with a very detailed description of what might actually happen.. He might put it in a comment?
