It was planted there on a bitter cold morning, anchored in concrete and slabs laid in front. We commemorated the bench to the three deceased members, and I am pleased to say that the three widows were all in attendance at what was a happy occasion, despite the weather. We then repaired to the Junction Inn for a convivial lunch. I left the Co-Op some years ago when I bought my own boat, but i still make a point of sitting on the bench whenever I am at Norbury for a quiet moment of contemplation on 'absent friends'.

I seem to remember, some time ago, even the local Council were complaining about traders. I think Audlum is a lovely little village, but if I don't feel welcome, I will move on and spend my money elsewhere.Brenda Scowcrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08994814944224291458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-50556435807725369172014-04-10T00:01:19.132+01:002014-04-10T00:01:19.132+01:00I have just caught up with your recent posts and f...I have just caught up with your recent posts and feel I should comment about the trader you spoke to about Audlem. The problem was caused by the trader flouting their trading licence rules by screwing a sign to the C&RT railings outside the Shroppie Fly and taking exception when it was taken down. Do you not think it would have been prudent to check with the other parties involved before condeming them so publically in your blog. I have until now enjoyed reading your blob up to now but I don't think I'll bother any more.Judith nb Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702254353871564739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-27468192972995522512013-03-21T20:02:32.734+00:002013-03-21T20:02:32.734+00:00We had the same water problem last September -http...We had the same water problem last September -http://nb-lois-jane.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Birmingham%20and%20Fazeley%20CanalJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160157609225841854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-63563092178778195882013-03-16T19:10:52.571+00:002013-03-16T19:10:52.571+00:00Thanks for that Adam.

So if one was full and one empty, you could get half a lockfull of water from the full one to the empty one. It would have saved water, like a side pond, particularly if there was a boat up and one down at the same time.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797263033136330290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-34889852601290191982012-05-08T20:07:05.920+01:002012-05-08T20:07:05.920+01:00Because of illness my husband and I never managed ...Because of illness my husband and I never managed to fulfill our retirement plan of owning a narrowboat or motorhome. I just love to read the blogs of narrowboat owners and came across yours today and to find you are a paper crafter as well was great. I have been making cards for over 8 years and did wedding stationery until my husband's illness meant I became a full time carer so now it is just cards. I was brought up in Birmingham so was surrounded by canals and I live near Lichfield now so Hopwas Fradley Fazeley and Kings Bromley are all nearby so I still have the canals. Now I will be following you as you move around.<br />Regards, Jayjaymorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15220518491875605019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-83397533515448332402012-03-31T01:12:18.880+01:002012-03-31T01:12:18.880+01:00Awwww...beautiful ducks.

Yes they put the fence up but the padlock change was to do with the owner of the house I am told. It seems they are not happy that the canal is open and so padlock the gates with their own padlocks. BW are on the case and trying to sort it out, but it is bind. Like you I walked along the road to reach the lock. <br />Love the cards.Jo Lodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598518708069192353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288312690401499170.post-4793598530474611212011-07-22T06:52:49.817+01:002011-07-22T06:52:49.817+01:00Hi Brenda
