The Great Escape

The  Great Escape

there is NOTHING--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.


The weather being beautiful, we set out for a trip down the Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal. People ask us "Where are you heading?" and are often surprised by our answer that we are going nowhere in particular. We will go for several days and turn round and go back again. It's better to travel than to arrive,so they say........

The joy of the canal is that  round the next bend or under the next bridge may be an interesting old building, a beautiful view, or a herd of cows which really oughtn't to be in the newly sown wheat field! 
Just like life really, it's the journey that counts, we all know what the destination is...
