AJ's Royal Canal Life Posted by AJ Vosse
Thanks to all for the good wishes and kind words... I've eventually managed to get the Abbeyshrule to Lock 40 post prepared and published... a bit of weekend reading for you... should you so care?  [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] Thanks again, cheers for now, Vossie aka AJ  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 22/10/2011 09:42 by AJ Vosse.
Very enjoyable again. There is something about your above photo titles that reminds me of Rupert Bear stories. I keep expecting to see a rhyming couplet beneath them ! Don't quite get the reference to Skew Country Estate ??

Thanks Paul, I'm trying to keep the posts and captions light-hearted... The reference is related to the crosses set in the gate pillars... sort of a subliminal moment on my part... please forgive my erroniouse ways...  Cheers for now, Vossie aka AJ 
Hi All, The saga is nearing completion... I've posted the section between Lock 40 and the Lyneed Bridge over on the blog today... again a bit of weekend horror reading  I hope you have fun and a great long weekend! Cheers for now, Vossie aka AJ [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
After all the ditty's were said and the new posts read After the sailors were fed and the kids put to bed... Aaaah... I'm no good at the poetry bit... What I'm good at is getting confused keeping the candle at both ends lit as long as I'm trying to stay amused Off to the harbour to see what the long level's level could be now it's the place for you and me cos the Rambler's again been set free So, I walked to the Shannon Well... that's what I thought confused, mind like a melon just as well the camera I brought! On to 46 at Cloondra at the other end of the canal Richmond is oh so far Or... is that Enfield I know so well? Sorrrrryyy all... Mick's ditty-ing has got a hold of me! This was the sight that met me at Enfield Harbour this afternoon... maybe now you understand my total confusion... and mirth... I promise to update the blog with the last section of the walk to Richmond by midweek... next week, that is! Until then... why don't you go and have a look-see at some of my other posts... Enfield Harbour has featured quite heavily as of late... Cheers for now, AJ aka Vossie
Hi All, I've eventually managed to get the final post of the walk to Richmond Harbour completed... at long last! The blog software has changed slightly so the gallery displays differently... I hope you enjoy the post... Thanks again for all your support, AJ aka Vossie [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] PS - Do scroll further down as well... there's quite a few additional Royal Canal related posts to be seen...

Hi All, Santi arrived in Kilcock last night. So, what's special about that? Santi arrives all over the world at this time of the year. Well, pray tell... how often is the fellow escorted into town on board a luxury liner? He made quite an entrance... in the capable hands of Blackthorn and her family! The quality of the photos aren't great... as they say in the classics... you gets what you pays! The turnout was fantastic! Thanks to Blackthorn and the Clintons!Chatting with Blackthorn's folk last evening prompted me to again read about her journey from the Shannon to Lock 15... it's a great read so why not go and remind yourself again... [www.iwai.ie] PS - I hope this post goes up... problems with the net! I'll do an edit later... I'll also do a blog post later in the week...[ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] Edited 3 time(s).

It was a pretty magical experience, and the crowd was huge! Here's a few pictures from onboard on the way down and arriving. Santa and the Garda escort.
Hi Vossie, just to keep you up - dated, do you remember that persistent kitten [ Abi from Abbeyshrule !] well, as you can see she has grown up a bit and like day one on 4E , continues to feel at home. Joe.
Hi All, Thanks to all that have left good messages about my Royal Canal post in the IWN... it is my first ever print article so I'm rather chuffed... For those that aren't fortunate enough to get the magazine... I've placed a copy on the blog as well... Thanks again for all your support, Vossie aka AJ [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com]
Hi All, Can anyone shed some light please? Is Lock 13 on the Royal Canal haunted? I've done a short piece over on the blog today... Cheers for now AJ aka Vossie [ouchmybackhurts.wordpress.com] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum. Online UsersGuests within the past 30 minutes:
