2022

So what do we want of the year 22 As we approach the year that is new? Here’s hoping for not like the last two years Which filled us with tragedy, risk and with fears Please go away you covid bug And let us all receive a hug Real or virtual, we care not which…

Boat Sharing

Twenty plus years of sharing Has been just great for us Cruising around the country With the minimum of fuss Moving around marinas Some cozy, some so large But always staffed by people Who look after us and “barge (!)” We love a city mooring Leeds, Manchester or Drum But also rural quiet spots Away…
