Being bullied by the Canal & River Trust 2021 for “not moving enough” DURING PANDEMIC & LOCKDOWN!

Moored on the Canal that the Watery Wellness Trust Ltd Forgot, in The Land That Time Forgot. Most pleasant indeed.

nb Cardinal Wolsey, proven conclusively beyond all daddo of a shout, to have visited Constable Territory as part of this years’ My Arse Is On Fire cruise-to-amuse (those who must be, &etc).

The Thirteen Colonies were having some sort of celerybration, and a giant mothership chased the Cardinal and I ashore. Oy vey, already. Ahoy vey even.

nb Cardinal Wolsey 508533, temporarily beached on the Falkland Islands so that I could sojourn with the penguins. I learned how to walk like a penguin, and I am pretty certain that I laid an egg.

nb Cardinal Wolsey 508533 receives his Red Arrows fly-over with smoke for reaching the beginning of the closure that affects the Shropshire Union January 2021 from Ellesmere Port to Audlem… Wheeeee!

nb Cardinal Wolsey 508533 half-way up the Mons Ampère flight of low-gravity locks on The Moon. Most splendid. That’s your planet in the background (I know for damned certain that it’s not mine, never was and never will be).

nb Cardinal Wolsey 508533 helping the Thirteen Colonies to land on The Moon and to take some samples. They needed a lot of help, but we managed in the end. Not our end, of course.

Now this WAS a Fantastic Voyage. Cardinal Wolsey 508533, cruising the Left Ventricle.

The towpath on some of the Moon Canals is little more than loose dust, very difficult to get a pin into with any integrity.

If the Canal-Next-The-Sea-Of-Transquility (Life’s Better By Water…) hadn’t been so silted up we may have caught him. As it was we had to use the pole and reverse off.

Shooting the Beeston Rapids, Lock 10 breach, January 2021. 8-10 weeks to repair at best.
