===============================================
I suppose That kind of lifestyle might have been 'for me' in another
life ! I like the quiet simple life and prefer to keep myself to
myself socially, I have No problems mixing with anyone though and I
get on with Most people I meet.
Don't know if I could manage without the 'mod cons' though :)
I had planned on posting two series... 'Narrow Boat Afloat' and
'Canals, The Making of a Nation'.
I was expecting to maybe have problems getting 'Narrow Boat Afloat'
back off a 5yr old Data DVD and to have no problems getting 'Canals,
The Making of a Nation' burned in November to a Blu-Ray with a brand
new drive... it ended up being the other way round :|
