Found a handy place to moor.... Almost right outside a decent pub in Uxbridge, The General Elliot. Saves cooking tonight.

Lots of questions to the board at @shepherdneame.bsky.social AGM, some critical. Perhaps too many as long Q&A is eating into tasting time and some groans from sections of the audience show this.

This is good news! A well maintained, accessible network which preserves the important heritage of our canal system benefits all. The Cotswold Canal trust shares the same goal as IWA in creating a navigable network. Investment is needed. #inlandwaterways #ukcanals

First time in 20+ years I didn't go cycling in Belgium last week. Trip to the Sherry Triangle with my lovely wife instead. Bodegas Osborne & Fundador visited & Sherry drunk. Sunshine & 28C+ what's not to like.

Very positive, but realistic, @iwa-uk.bsky.social annual meeting in Nottingham, attended by over 100, online and in person. Acknowledged that IWA, like UK navigation authorities, have been too blasé and need to change.

Not quite as busy as Oxford Street but we closed our local street in SE4 for a car free day event. Couldn't draw snakes & ladders on a normal day. #streetsforpeople
