    Another enjoyable cruise and lovely scenery. So nice to see Sally, and Reggie of course, really enjoying cruising. She has definitely taken to this lifestyle like the swans and cygnets take to the canals. The dinner and wine looked fabulous as did the lovely sunset that followed, providing a nice end to the day of cruising. Thanks for taking us along.

    Long time since I did the Foxton flight. The closest flight to where I used to live was the Hatton flight, always a nice walk on a Summers evening !
    Fascinating about the inclined plane but sad to see it getting overgrown, and rather scorched !
    Take care !

    Evening Alan and Sally, as I was watching the video, it struck me what a really lovely "boaters day" that was. A nice cruise, the obligatory rain, somewhere lovely to moor up and a very nice meal in a canal side pub, followed by some late evening sun. Really a perfect day out on a narrowboat. I hope that you both enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed watching...thank you both for sharing...🍷🍷

    Well that was a contrasting vlog. First rain, then sunshine. Next, emptying your cassette, then filling up with a carvery meal at the restaurant.
    But it was nevertheless entertaining, made more so by the two of you enjoying time together.
    I guess it made a change from the usual cheese top roll and pot of Yorkshire tea Alan. 😂

I've never seen black grapes in my local co-op and they're not often seen in larger supermarkets, so difficult to come by.
