We are still enjoying the warmth of late summer but can see the autumn approaching, the drawing in of the evenings, the later sunrises all give our internal clocks the ques.
So Ownashare is equally planning for the changing season with boat surveys to inform the syndicates of work required over winter. All the AGM's are planned. Every season has its rhythm and after the calm of summer cruising Ownashare prepares for work around the corner.

The insect life this summer due to the dry hot conditions is very varied.
Last night the owls were busy hunting and hooting.
What a wonderful time to be boating

After returning from a wonderful week on the Shropshire union I am missing the wonderful freedom of boating
The lovely chats and friendship at locks to the cheery waves as we pass by.
We have some really great shares on offer why not come and join us

Meeting up at Crick seeing old friends and meeting new boaters is always great.
This year the it was especially good to see friends not seen due to the pandemic were back again.

Ownashare are busy gearing up for The Crick Show

We currently have some excellent offers on shares for sale and hope to meet new boaters and current and past share holders.
Happy Boating

Happy Easter.
The flowers and buds have been bursting everywhere over the last few weeks.
This is a truly hopeful time of year. With the awful news of war we have to be grateful for the peace and quiet of the English canal system.
I hope you are able to enjoy some time away from everyday life to refocus.

The spring has started to show us the wonderful colours, with daffodils, early primroses, crocus and buds starting to burst.
As more and more of us venture out on the cut to enjoy the wonders of Spring and the camaraderie of our fellow boaters is very evident.
Ownashare looks forward to introducing more like minded people to this relaxing lifestyle.

Now is the perfect time to ensure your flue is clear of soot and the baffle plate is not blocked lumps of soot.
Also checking the batteries for the Co 2 and smoke alarms is important.
Enjoy the lovely quiet evenings
Spring is just around the corner

With a mild start to the year many boaters have been enjoying the freedom of the cut.
With cosy stoves and central heating you can snuggle down to a good book or a memorable film in the middle of nowhere or company at a local pub.
What is stopping you joining us?

Guys are to be seen in many communities and the autumn colours are intensifying. Nature is amazing.
We are all now enjoying firelight cosy evenings and as in nature we are adapting to the changing light levels and shorter days.
Just a reminder to check your smoke and Co alarms.
Also ensure your baffle plate and flue is kept clear.
