Yes believe it or not I am visiting a school next week and also doing a virtual gig. So that is a big change for me! Still working on developing a couple of stories for next week’s virtual.

Had a chilly ride today with a friend and used my super duper summer bike. It makes a big difference when climbing because it has a carbon frame. Ended up coming back along the canal I was hoping I might see Common Cranes in the field alongside but no luck. We are lucky with the fields between the canal and the River Severn – it is a real haven for wild life.

Just watched the football. Brilliant we are now nearer to the Play Offs than the Relegation Zone! Not bad for a team with one of the smallest budgets! Up the Hatters! 

A quiz on Canals today.

a) What are canals in Cambridge called?   b) Where is the longest canal tunnel in England and how long is it?  c) Which English nobleman is called the “Father of canals”?  d) How long is the Panama Canal?  e) Who is the man famously associated with building the Suez Canal?
