My admirers, The Forsythes of Stretton-on-Dunsmore, took me for lunch at a lovely pub where the staff made much of me. Lady Gillian painted my portrait some years ago and it now hangs with my old masters (well in his office).

I make an early morning inspection of the Hatton Locks, a flight of 21 locks over 2 miles. I hope my crew are up to this. I worry about their age and fitness, but you just can't get young staff these days.
Well they survived it, but are now demanding a pay rise.
That looks exhausting. A holiday for you mister fudge but not it would seem for the crew! Maybe more tea and cake will revive them.
