I do despair sometimes when hearing about the Environment Agency’s plans. The current proposal not to replace resident lock keepers along the non-tidal Thames and to rent out their vacant homes – including those at Chertsey and Sunbury Locks – is a case in point.
Fancy doing something a little different this weekend? If so, why not get yourself down to Staines Sailing Club to take advantage of their free ‘Go Boating’ day on Saturday, June 7 between 11am and 5pm.
Christmas is great – it’s lovely to spend time with family and friends and just relax for a day or two – but for me, the New Year is always a very special time.
