Oh dear ……..
Nigel came home yesterday, his eyes wide with wild excitement because, he announced ........……
Evesham’s famous crane, visible for miles in every direction, possibly even back in The Homeland ………
Sadly (or perhaps not), it wasn’t said crane that was for sale, it was the retirement flats and houses being built beneath it! Nigel took the news pretty stoically, he was crestfallen of course ……
....... but he could also see that someone close to us might not be that enamoured should a crane be erected in such close proximity to our dwelling for the sole purpose of getting Nigel to school and back! So, it’s back to the drawing board, with Nigel now considering trying to persuade the lovely people at the marina to set up a water taxi service for him (and perhaps other interested parties) instead! Good grief, What is he like?

Good idea, Nigel. Getting swung across in the crane's bucket sounds great. Have you considered a coracle? Or an inflatable canoe? Or a zip line? Otherwise, get out your swimming trunks and arm bands. Good luck in the winter, mind. And when the swans have their cygnets nearby.
Can you imagine the view that crane operator must from his/her cab have from way up there? Young Nige, I'd keep your tooties well and firmly on the terra firma. JantheFan
