    My husband and I really enjoy your journeys on your boat and I find them very restful to watch before going to bed to settle me down. In our youth we had a small Shetland and we enjoyed boating on Loch Lomond, The Norfolk Broads and on a few lakes in the Lake District, sometimes sleeping on board (a bit cramped), more often in our 'home from home' in our caravette which towed the boat to its different destinations sometimes adventures on our own and some with our kids. Later we got a larger boat - a Princess which seemed very posh but not as easy to take up smaller rivers for picnics where we watched dragonflies dancing and dosed in the sun. When my husband had his cancer treatment 10 years ago he spent his time while in quarentie during radiotherapy planning a sea voyage - a reminder of his days with the RNLI - from the north east coast (where we kept our boat) up the coast of Scotland and hopefully through the Caledonian canal. He was able to achieve his dream as far as Inverness though I didn't join him due to worsening arthritis but then covid locked everything down and by the time it was over he was also less able to manage the boat so regretfully we sold it. However as septogenarians we are enjoying travelling vicariously with you and look forward to seeing your next adventures. Best wishes for your next voyage.

    I grew up in Rotherham, I saw quite a few bands play on that bandstand in Clifton Park. I also used to help the Lock Keeper operate Aldwarke Lock before it was Automated.

    When you went past Waddingtons boatyard that was actually the entrance to the Dove and Dearne canal that went to Barnsley, where I think it joined a branch of the Aire and Calder from near Wakefield, by the way I went to school with Vic Waddingtons sons
