Narrow Boats




Four weeks ago my youngest son Mike moved 100 miles away to be deputy manager of The Green Man near Silverstone. Today we drove to pay him a visit and take him shopping. This was only the second time he had left the pub since starting there. We bought him luncha and found a shopping Centre in Banbury where we saw narrow boats in the Oxford Canal. 20 years ago we had several holidays on the Inland Waterways - took me back a bit.

(Not clever but the Mondeo touched 115mph on the A34 and we made the 104 miles there in 82 minutes. Far too slow I'll take the bike next time...)

R & E - I must conceed it is 70mph... however in my defence, your honour, this is not my regular driving style and is an isolated incident!

R & E = Ford. In the USA its equivalent would be the Taurus. I have had 6 Fords (and 4 Yamahas) so you might say I'm a creature of habit!
