Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Wednesday. Not too bad out, which pleases me coz we have the second boat testing today, complete with the press and various dignitaries in attendance. It should be good! he sez with fingers crossed behind his back

Tiggy beginning to look like bedtime is rapidly approaching.

Have a happy day everyone. :o}

Good morning WBM, that sounds too complicated for me however wish you all the best with it.

The weather in West Yorkshire is calm and Clement.

Thank you for letting me know it's bedtime for me, ( I've lost track of time) not so much an early bird more like a night owl.

[waterboatman]

Morning ark. Glad to be of service. ;o} It's really quite simple, it needs to be if I'm involved! What it is, we have access to a small boat that looks a bit like a mini landing craft, with a ramp at the front, to allow wheelchairs easy access so that disabled people can have access to the canal we are restoring. They will have a chance to steer the boat while they are enjoying being on the water.

[Arksided]

That is so smooth of you Sir... I respect you more than I did before. I thought it was some actual Sea faring reference.

I wish you all the best of luck.

morning boaty xx and ark xx
Heavy rain here this morning. BOOO !!

[waterboatman]

Thank you ark. We can see no reason why people should be denied access just because they are in a wheelchair. Also we are restoring all the towpaths so that everyone can use them. Joggers, dog walkers, wheelchairs, mobility scooters prams and even able bodied people! They are already well used. People tell us they never knew it was so lovely by the canal. that pleases us to know that our efforts are appreciated.

[janbee]

Beej, thank you so much but as I mentioned to you before, PLEASE don't go to too much trouble on this. I REALLY appreciate your/his help but I don't want to be a nuisance.. If it's too tricky or my little bit of info is TOO vague then just forget it. Thank you though. xx

[janbee]

Santa ? Huh! that fatso... I think he lost my address years ago.

[waterboatman]

I think you're right beej. Santa will be on our boat on the weekends leading up to the silliness. We woke him up last week. Sobering him up is something else! ;o}
