plantfit 7,580 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Mrs P and myself had a bus pass trip to Newark this morning,lovely walk around the market then across to the river,crossed the river at Newark lock and had a walk upto the two wiers that I didn't know was there,called in at the sensory garden near the lock for a nice sit down in the warm sunshine,also found out that the "dry dock" alongside the river there is the largest inland waterway dry dock in the UK, walked back into the center of Newark for a cuppa and a short wait for the bus back home,nice one Saw this narrow boat in Trent lock and it reminded me of someone but I can't think who and one of the Trent navigation building Rog 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 So when are you having a Nottstalgia party on your boat, FLY? It doesn't look very big so it'll have to be a select few only! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 An old chap in our village, no longer with us, said when they were lads they took the train into Newark on a Friday night just to look for a fight! It's quite genteel during the day though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, up to now, there's only Rog, Ben and me who seem interested... Need some more females, though. The boat comes from March in Cambs which is only a few miles across the fen from where I live... can be there in 20 minutes! 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Margie, I'm a bit too common, I don't think I'd pass the select test. Common as muck, but twice as cheap. You can take the gel out of Gedlin'? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Phew! Just had the fright of my life (well nearly). having just got home from my (first cycle ride since my little procedure on Aug 6th). Sitting by our Patio Door enjoying a sandwich, feet on the pouffe, watching the birds just outside on the feeders. Mr and Mrs Blackbird and a young one, one little robin, only just beginning to show some red on its breast and various sparrows, taking baths and drinks from our bird bath. Very Peaceful!!! All of a sudden out of nowhere, Chaos, the ' Robin Red' shrubs were shaking all over the place, ( just like a scene from Jurrassic Park) birds flapping amongst the branches, a dirty great big Sparrow Hawk hit the Patio Door about four foot from where I was sitting, tea and tuna sarnis all over me, a few expletives uttered, at the same time a cat scarpered off up the garden, we think it had something in its mouth (Murderer). All over in about two seconds. I'll never be the same again. Where's mi tablets. 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
