    Hi both. Just watched Episode 115 and your mention of How with Jack Hargreaves made me seek out and find this episode ua-cam.com/video/9iqXXutBG-g/v-deo.html. I think that you might enjoy the water demonstrations with Jack and the team. Ah, memories. All the best. Brummie Graham in Cyprus (sunny and 31 degrees today with the occasional cloud).

    My friend bought a house in a hilltop village in southern Italy and the back half is a cave. He has one window over the door and the bedroom is above the kitchen/dining area. There is a WC in the corner of that room which has a shower that would look tiny to a narrowboat dweller. The original inhabitants didn’t have indoor plumbing. The “living room” is under the bedroom in the cave. The two of us stay there a few days at a time but large families lived there over the years. It’s all relative isn’t it?

    Love that canal, from the sandstone cuttings, exquisite canalside houses, lovely pubs, to the most convenient (trolley to the boat!) canalside Tescos at Kidderminster. First time you rise up in the lock at The Lock Inn it comes as a shock when you suddenly find yourself arms length from your audience.

    Hi Rich and Fran, I am watching this on UA-cam tv right now and it’s such beautiful scenery.? Wow I saw chicken of the woods for the first time on a drive around Milton Keynes. A friend of mine who moved to Scotland introduced me to it, never seen one before. The dogs are looking happy and healthy.

    My wife and I lived in Kidderminster for a couple of years in the first house that we actually owned. I taught in the local grammar school (King Charles I school). Some years later we were doing the Stourport ring in a hire boat and I did the classic one foot on the boat and the other on the towpath. Splash!

    Weren’t the caves used as fallout shelters during the Wars? Enjoy seeing your dogs. Miss ours, they have passed on and we decided being in our 70’s and poor health not to get any more. But a stray cat decided to come live at our house so he’s now a spoiled boy. Feel like I’m right there along with you. Thank you. Enjoyed the town.

    I think you were wise to leave that mushroom on the tree carving. I once had to speed a good 70 miles up the freeway to take a bag of mushrooms to the hospital that my stepdad's father had left behind. He thought he knew everything about mushrooms, but got sick after snacking on some he'd just picked. Doctors needed to know what kind he'd eaten to treat. He recovered. Lost his status as a colossal know-it-all though 😁.
