What a way to spend a day.

Today is my 60th birthday! How did I get to be that old? I don't FEEL 60! Well,ok, when my knees are giving me jip, I suppose there were times when I feel older...but  I'm not ready for old fogeydom yet. I can remember when being 30 sounded positively ancient...as Sandy Denny asked "Who knows where the time goes?"  But what better way to spend the day than on our boat, on the canal. It's been very windy but at least it stayed dry. We certainly met lots of boats along the way. Hire boats,just setting off on their canal break,  day boats full of enthusiastic people who forgot to tie them up, and didn't notice they were half way across the cut! Plus there were plenty of people taking their boats out for the first time this season. So the canal not as quiet as we've been used to of late, but it makes it interesting. And now my other half is cooking me a nice dinner and opening a bottle of wine. No better way to spend the day. Apologies to friends and family who can't be with us. We'll celebrate later in the week.
