That sort of messed with the plan

[eggsarascal]

Got a call from a mate on Thursday, “any chance you can swing by Egg”, off I go to Cheshire to be greeted by this. Gawd knows how long he’s going to be there. He’s a mile n half from the nearest bridge/road, it was fun dragging his trolley full of supplies back to the boat along the muddy towpath. That’s his boat nearest to the stoppage on the right hand side, fortunately he’s got Wi-Fi and can work from the boat.

There is room to wind there, he’s not bothered now his supplies are replenished. It’s not a bad spot and he can still do his work.

I bought a flat that I’m renting out until my pension kicks in, may even rent it out longer. I’m still in my box.

Temporary Dams 👍 great little jobs in the summer months.

Yeah tidy work, my mate was telling me a culvert collapsed about a mile away from there last year, it was a six week stoppage. Fortunately for him he was on the right side of that collapse.
