Tom Jones reads our Blog (and so does Jan)
Yesterday, a Black Prince hire boat passed us part way down Tardebigge Locks as we were making our way up. I took the opportunity to film their boat for a little variety and, looking straight into the camera, the steerer shouted "We read your Blog". We don’t usually have speaking parts but that seems a good way to make sure you’re included in the next DVD. The lady asked if I could do something else with the filming, but I won’t reveal what, before introducing themselves as Tom & Jan Jones.
They are regular blog readers from New Zealand but living in Australia (I do hope I remembered that the right way round) but we didn’t have time to chat as we both had lots of locks to work. It’s nice when blog readers say hello as we pass, so please do so – unfortunately we can’t recognise you if you don’t. Today we’ve progressed onto the Stratford upon Avon Canal, heading towards Lapworth Junctions and the Grand Union Canal for more filming. We’re moored at Hockley Heath, hoping to reach Catherine de Barnes tomorrow. Posted on Friday, 17 July 2009 at 20:54 Comments (2)

To Tom & Jan: It’s always nice to meet blog readers in person, it’s a shame we didn’t have time for a longer chat.
Hopefully Derek & Dot on Gypsy Rover have been able to answer all your questions on your recent visit to them.
