Very sad to hear that Prunella Scales has died. A wonderful actress, but most of all Martin and I enjoyed her charming canal trip programmes with husband Timothy West. I'm downloading (on demand in the UK) some of her past canal trips to rewatch, including the Leeds & Liverpool canal and Venice.
DNF-ing one non fiction book tonight that's not working well for me, and starting another instead, Paul Gogarty's "The Water Road: a narrowboat odyssey through England".
