Thank you for visiting the site.

It seems hard to believe the Crick boat show, the first major event of the year, has come and gone. And what a show it was! For once the weather was (mostly) splendid, with none of the rain, storms, explosions (yes) and mud of the past few years. We regulars wouldn’t have been surprised if 2009 was the year for the plague of locusts or frogs. Instead we had large crowds of visitors who seemed to be really enjoying themselves.

Most surprising of all, given the difficult times we are experiencing, there was an atmosphere of genuine optimism. People seemed to be saying they had had enough of gloom, recession, depression and corruption. There was a determination to find reasons to be cheerful. It was heartening to learn that boat-builders were taking deposits and meeting serious enquirers. All the exhibitors with whom I spoke were more than pleased with results, and I’m sure it wasn’t just an attempt to talk up the economy.

Personally it was a delight to meet so many readers and sign so many books. Your kind comments were very much valued.

I’m already looking forward to the next show, which is always a very colourful spectacle, the Braunston Working Boat Rally. This takes place on 27 and 28 June. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the editor and his team at Canals & Rivers magazine who have again invited me to be a guest on their stand in the main marquee. As always, I promise you a warm welcome.

Enjoy the summer!

Every good wish,
