Good to see bits of the festival and the village too.

Just watched on 4 +1, as my mum text to tell me it was on. Lovely to hear Simon and the boys doing an intimate rendition of WKWTTG... it sounded so beautiful! I love them so much!

It made a change to see Fairport represented faithfully and the lads couldn't have been any more poignant. That and it also featured the Wey & Arun canal, that I'm involved with. If that is the Canal Journeys epilogue, then perfect.

Lovely.

Title: Re: Great canal journeys Post by: Phil Perry on October 23, 2019, 05:09:01 PM Thanks for alerting us to this … much enjoyed. I remember having moored in the village the day before the festival as easily as you please, only a "few" years ago ^-^
Title: Re: Great canal journeys Post by: Paul on October 24, 2019, 09:49:20 PM I thought that was very moving. I certainly had a tear in my eye, as did Dominic at one point.
I did like Tim's daughter's comment about Pru steering into a lock. :) It did throw me a bit having the canal out of order though. Paul Title: Re: Great canal journeys Post by: Angela on November 02, 2019, 11:26:59 AM Can I still watch this episode, if so how?)
