I'm not going to lie. I'm overwhelmed. I've got too much to do.
But the sun is shining so here's my quote for today:

{TGIF-canal trip}

Dear blogland,
It's been an insane week...and last week was rather busy too. I'm drowning under 101 deadlines and sadly my parents also left to return to Canada this week.
But my Dad sent this lovely poem about our barge trip the other week, and I thought it was a good way to end a hectic week, to look forward to tea in bed tomorrow morning (although I'll be working a lot this weekend)...and to remember to take a breath even when times are busy!

AGAIN

We shall return another day

To grasp the tiller in our hand

And ply the water roads

Of this green and pleasant land.

All we ask as we embark

Are loved ones near and far

To share the early morning mists,

The evening's distant star.

We'll wend our way through country towns,

Through marsh and weir and fen,

Through rivers bold and narrow locks

And stop we know not when.

The stakes we'll drive in greening fields

To tie our mooring lines

And tether us more firmly

To simpler, gentle times.

                             MJC

& to give you a real feel at how peaceful it can be on the water: 

Happy Friday!
