Moored Shropshire Union Canal
It?s rather strange at daughter Wendie?s house.? That is where I am with Sir and the girls at the moment.. we were summonsed you see.. ?Can you come and babysit the house and dogs while we go off skiing??.. One cannot say no to?a family call if we are twiddling our thumbs can we?
It always feels OK when we go ?dan saff? to join the family, but this time the family is not there and I am defo out of my comfort zone?
When I said ?specific? on the latest Winter Wassat I didn?t mean actual specific.. what I wanted to you look at was a gate with a ring on it.. but there was one guess..
OK so you want specific! .. Just South of Norbury Junction are some narrows with stop gates in them. This is the ring on the West (towpath) side of the canal ?. North end of the gate!
NickF has been here before!?
And so have quite a few of you, although Nickie said a ?stop lock gate?.. it isn?t a lock but I gonna give her the tois points as she described that it could be shut from either side of the canal. Deux point to NickF and Mark & Angie take the remaining point.? Charlie you remember well!
It is indeed the stop gate at Norbury Wharf needed because there is a huge embankment to the south.? If that should breach then these gates can be closed to stop the water pouring out of the whole canal.
I find the responsibility of being in Wendie?s bricks and mortar quite daunting.? It has been over 12 years since we have lived in a house, well just me and Vic on our own.? Once I had driven them to Southampton Airport for their flight to Geneva and returned to the house I felt quite strange.
I have found that life is soooooooo quiet with not a lot to do apart from walking the four dogs.? We have taken the opportunity to visit family but by the afternoon we seem to be sitting down and watching day time tele!? Completely unknown for us to do that aboard NP..? It would be OK in the summer but the winter months must be tough for retired people I wonder what they do all day?!
For me days on the boat are always full with something or other I never seem to have time for all the things I want to do in a day, but living in this house I seem to have far to much time to do nothing!
Ho hum!.. Odd!
Right then, here is one for you that I have taken from a photo that I took back in the spring.. (hint).. It?s a toughie.? Wonder if you will get it..
Wassat?.. It?s not on the boat
I think I will go to the fashionable part of Portsmouth tomorrow to a place called Gunwarf full of good quality shops.? I?ll drive to the next village, park up and catch the bus.. There is no way I am driving into that town and having to find a parking spot! ?
