help transform canals into your concrete doorstep - November 30, 2021
By Devid Scowcrovich
Canals have always been magical places to me, and I hope they are somewhere you find peace and relaxation too, only disturbed by the noise of canal boats tearing past at three miles an hour...

proper boating - June 1, 2021
By Devid Scowcrovich
Six years ago, I wrote an article on ‘Proper Boating’ as I had been told that my new build was not ‘Proper Boating’. Recently, my wife pointed out to me a social media squall on the subject. Despite not engaging with computer forums, I have revisited the subject.
let a thousand excuses bloom - March 26, 2021
By Devid Scowcrovich
As Regimental Sergeant Major of the Intelligence Corps (I’d wandered in by mistake), if anyone came up with an excuse, they were let off the offence provided they had an excuse I hadn’t heard before, or hadn’t used myself. Therefore, here be the excuses I have used, or heard of, for overstaying on one spot in the canal system.

By Devid Scowcrovich
Thank the Gods that I am not a hypochondriac in these boring, tormented days of virus lockdown it would be a real misery for my wife, Brenda.  I do have an itchy scalp though - just the odd bit of scratching seems to ease the irritation.
one week in the life of... - June 10, 2020
By Devid Scowcrovich
Bad night: sleeping tablets from Doc useless; may have to revert to Sid’s illegal offerings should he appear during the Lockdown.  Our security gates are closed therefore snugly isolated on boat.  I have campaigned for ten years to keep Gas Street Basin unpolluted and quiet – beware what you wish for!
