Summer...what's that?

We are having such a wet spring - this is truly the weather for ducks! The Yonne River is in flood and the hire companies are not allowing their boats onto the river at the moment which must be putting a lot of strain on the Burgundy Canal as even the Nivernais Canal is closed in parts. I feel for the people who have paid a lot of money for their holiday only to find rain, more rain and cold temperatures.

We returned after a long stay in the UK to find that one of our friends's barge had sunk in the Yonne near Gurgy.  It has to be one of the worst sights for a bargee...  our thoughts are with Charlyn and Simon.
