Sunset from the top of the coral cliffs |
October already! Autumn has arrived, sunsets and night
time are creeping earlier and in the mornings there are fantastic sunrises while walking to collect the bread. We must be getting nearer to the end of the season, tally charts
from the crew chess games now fill the page and canal traffic slowing down. Good
to see our friend the barge 'Randle' back on the Nivernais after spending some
time south of Clamecy due to lack of rain, when asked how he got through the shallow stretch, as we
passed each other in the cut, he replied; “Balloons”.
We nearly lost the chef on Friday after he
took a slip into the canal. He was pulled out drenched by the crew, we can't afford to loose a good chef. Been there, done that myself! Never the nicest
experience, but happens to the best of us, its a sort of 'Canal Christening'!
