Asking BA would be more accurate though.
In an ideal world!
I am sure that the Rangers will do what's asked of them.
I'm not so sure of the spin though.

Andrew, the BA have announced that there will be more Rangers afloat this season. They have also announced more safety training and advice in cooperation with the hire yards. Whether they will be out on the water at eight in the morning is anyone's guess though.

And on a brighter note!

He obviously did more than one then!!! Yours is about 100X better.
He is not the only one to have done that. I have, for example, a Batchelder of Lowestoft Harbour Mouth, there is a very similar version in Lowestoft's Town Hall collection, another in the local Maritime Museum and another in the Town Museum at Oulton Broad and I don't doubt that other variations are in other private hands.

Fat lot of good those things are, only go in fits and starts and never for long!

However sad to relate my picture has been hanging in full sunlight at some stage ( not in my ownership I hasten to add! ) and not only has it faded from Peter's photo, but gone brown as many of Rackhams paintings did, simply because he would, or could not, afford decent watercolour paints.
Thanks for the heads up about Rackham's drawings, I hadn't put two and two together. Incidentally, I did see a very nice Rackham oil painting a year or so back, that I did admire.
Re my photo of your painting, not bad for handheld and lit by your room lighting!

So Mr Horrocks bought a pup then

Re vehicular access over a footpath, it really is confusing, having been there, done that and earned several t-shirts. There is a limit as to how many properties can be accessed by a car off a single track, seemingly irrespective of length for one thing, I believe that it's five. Distance from the highway to a property is another factor. A footpath is just that, a footpath and a landowner is not obliged to grant consent unless it's already an established right. Not to say that the RSPB wouldn't say no to a generous donation! Yes, it will all be in the legal pack but I don't believe that Mr Horrocks can take anything for granted. My feeling is that he is effectively landlocked when it comes to access on wheels.

if everyone starts doing as they like because they have had the vaccine, then where does that lead.
It leads directly to the pub and the Broads!

The BA website advises to minimise travel, even for liveaboards.
Indeed they did, a question of travelling but the rivers were not closed as such, it was the actual travelling that was restricted. Not saying that the BA didn't revel in the situation though! Don't see the boating public accepting any BA monkey business this time around.

actually since it is in a separated part of your garden, it could be deemed to be a holiday home or second home
I take your point but we have a shared ownership of the access thus effectively both gardens are connected.

I'm no technical wizard, understatement of the year, but if in upgrading to three phase an extra line is required on the existing posts then I wonder if the authorities might not insist on the lines being laid underground, what with it being a conservation area. Has that not happened at Potter?

As long as the BA wake up and open the rivers,
They are not closed, indeed the BA has been beavering away, as far as restrictions allow.

Will you be allowed to stay in your shed?
Must admit that we stayed in our waterside shed during the first lockdown. Granted that it is effectively in our garden but it is not our main residence. Interesting question, never considered it before.

Mouldy, as usual, makes some good points.
As I see it if we are vaccinated then we are less likely to contract the virus thus we are not likely to pass it on. Provided people who insist on overseas travel do so with caution and follow guidelines then I suspect that we will grow to live with the virus.

Oh that is so sad. As the owner has come to this conclusion is can only have come about by locals using the footpath because for the best part of a year most of us have not been able to get to do the walk as not classed as 'close to home'.
My own bit of the Angles Way is now being walked by numerous folk who I have never seen before. I can only assume that some folk like long walks. On top of that I read somewhere that dog ownership has soared during lockdown. Walking has become exceedingly popular over this past year!

Still local travel only?

Now if John and Tracy had been paying 9K a year, they might just still be there now and the pub still turning an annual rent for the landlord.
In my opinion John & Tracey's demise was simply a means to an end. They didn't deserve to be treated that way.

What's the import duty on Algae ?
Then again Eire is the Emerald isle so should blend in.
A few days at sea should pickle any algae. About 550 sea miles should ensure adequate sterilisation. A hundred or so hours should do it.

It's just a fiction to give "life" to the sculpture. I must admit, despite walking the route many times I've never found any "items of shopping as waymarkers". Anyone else?
Clearly someone had visited the hairdressers and 'bought something for the weekend', oh dear, dropped on the way back to the boat

That's given me an idea, I wonder how much moorings are on the Shannon, I could keep "Old Nyx" there.
Sea Trip, anyone?
