I remember this song from assemblies and the kids singing enthusiastically because it was such a catchy tune. The next line about jet planes meeting in mid air to be re-fuelled was stretching it a bit to make the rhyme! However there is no doubt that this can be a particularly beautiful time of year, especially on crisp blue mornings like today.
We are on the Coventry canal which links the Trent and Mersey with the Birmingham canal routes as well as the Oxford canal. We have turned around today and are heading back to base slowly, making the most of our last few days out for this year while the weather holds. In the dark , cold days of winter it is easy to lose sight of these treasures, So I mustn't forget, no, I mustn't forget..... ( Lyrics from Autumn Days by Estelle White, Come and Praise hymn book,)
