"Mad as a March Hare"
Posted by LFrenchon Tuesday, 6 March 2012March has arrived and nature thinks that spring is in the air!
The hedgerows and gardens are showing signs of new life emerging, birds are collecting bedding for their nests, lambs are appearing in the feilds.Flowers are bursting into existence and ready for mothering sunday the primroses are basking in the spring sunshine.

Winter arrives for the school half term
Posted by LFrenchon Tuesday, 7 February 2012Winter has arrived with the start of the school half term holidays.
Luckly for us boat owners, if the canal is frozen, we can use our boats as a cosy floating cottage.
With all of our boats moored in rural locations close to lots of attractions it may be time to venture away from the canal and try visiting the surrounding area.
Have you visited Drayton Manor theme park,zoo, Stafford and Lichfield with lots of interesting buildings and museums.
The jewel in the crown of the area is Lichfield cathederal it is a fascinating visit.

Happy Christmas Cruising
Posted by LFrenchon Friday, 16 December 2011Well Christmas is upon us and the weather up to now has been fair.
The stoppage program has been going very well with many of the stoppages ending ahead of schedule.
Compare this to last years big freeze!
As I write this some of you will be seeing snow today but the weather at Bromley Wharf is cool but sunny.
The Ownashare team wish you a wonderful Christmas season and New year and we look forward to caring for you and your boat through the 2012 season of cruising.
