Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Spring Summer Cruse 2015 ❷❼. Sabrina Footbridge Worcester to Upton Visitor Moorings. Date 30 June 2015. Overnight the weather was very warm. We decided to make for an early start as we new we might have a long cruising day if moorings were unavailable. Steady cruise and we ended up having to breast up with a boat on either side. I'm hoping that I have convinced them to write up their adventure. Long Tailed Tit, Coot, Moorhen. Butterflies: Meadow Brown, Skipper, Red Admiral. Cyclist...

Rose of Arden: December 2014
http://the-onion-bargee.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 December 2014. The wheels on the CaRT! For years, a symbol of the UK's Canal and River system in the public mind was not the old BW Reed Mace and Bridge. Though the old BW logo gives a much better impression of the inland waterways. More latterly, the logo of choice has bee CaRT's Angry Swan. However, have you ever wondered what happens to all the broken and abandoned trolleys that litter our inland waterways. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Most people know that I enjoy poking fun at CaRT.

Sunday, 31 August 2014. Most people know that I enjoy poking fun at CaRT. If I did not poke fun, then I would only end up crying into my beer. So in the spirit of being a bit more upbeat, I decided to do some fractured motivational posters. As a kid I had a few motorcycle posters on my bedroom wall. So I decided to hang a few inland waterways posters on my blog wall. Under this system the. 39,559 then becomes 30,000. Denary for reports. Eureka! Saturday, 30 August 2014.

Rose of Arden: March 2015
http://the-onion-bargee.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 31 March 2015. CaRT's Soviet Ten Year Plan. There is a belief that living aboard a boat can provide a close approximation to an aspirational and idyllic style of life. But like many things viewed from a distance – when you get in close, you come to realise that idyllic is not the right word. I think that boaters are blessed with a form of ' minds eye myopia. Monday, 30 March 2015. Freedom of Information Request (2). I don't know about you - but. I will report back on any developments. This freed...

Rose of Arden: January 2015
http://the-onion-bargee.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 January 2015. Rupert's and Rodney's declare war! Carrying on with the predjudice theme. We are capable of displaying prejudice to our own kinsfolk on and off the canal. To lighten the tone a little bit, I've taken a light hearted view of the IWA looking all resplendent in their 'kings new clothes.'. So I'm thinking of holding a collection to purchase some raffia and beads for the afternoon macramé sessions in the old boys playpen. Plus a large load of senna pods which might go some way t...

Rose of Arden: Photo (7)
http://the-onion-bargee.blogspot.com/2015/08/photo-7.html
Wednesday, 12 August 2015. There is no particular theme, other than most of my photography is waterways inspired. It's whatever that caught my attention at the time. So I thought I might include a few of my photographs into the blog. I am looking for titles to give to the images, you might like to suggest one of your own. I tend to specialise in Sunsets and Sunrises as there are so many millions of images around of the various canal locations. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blog's of the Month.
