John Betjeman didn’t like Slough. So what would he made of this workboat on the Regent’s Canal?
Pride of Slough
He’d have probably giggled at it. But then he did write.
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
The complete poem is here. Slough has probably improved since he wrote the poem.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
