| For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk. Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active! I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |

Taking a boat down Caen Hill Locks
We had the opportunity today to help take a boat down the Caen Hill flight of locks on the Kennet and Avon canal, between us and Devizes. And to catch up too with our old friends Aouali and Roddy and their family. Some pictures of the boat and the surrounds. Enjoy, click on any image to see it larger. The locks were lighter to work that I expected - I don't know why I thought they might be heavy just because there were so many, and there were Gongooxzlers all the way down. How great for the businesses around; tea room doing a roaring trade, and plenty of people out. Yet we were the only boat moving. There's an irony here - you don't need many boats moving on a naviagable canal to make it a big success for its area!.              Thank you, Roddy, Aouali, and Narrow Boat Limoni(written 2011-10-15) Associated topics are indexed as below, or enter http://melksh.am/nnnn for individual articles Z521 - Navigable waterways - Canals, Rivers and Sea[598] Should we cruise around the world? - (2006-02-09) [708] Linescapes of Mull - (2006-05-03) [776] Naming Rooms - (2006-06-24) [793] The Wilts and Berks Canal - (2006-07-05) [820] Robert and William Whitworth - (2006-08-01) [1657] Farewell, Newcastle to Stavanger, Haugsund and Bergen - (2008-05-29) [1986] Walk to Bowerhill - (2009-01-10) [2588] Freddies Wood and the K and A Canal - (2010-01-17) [2730] Bird Watching on the Melksham Avon - (2010-04-18) [2796] Sunday - waiting for the ferry. - (2010-06-06) [2807] Canal through Melksham - the options and issues - (2010-06-13) [2950] Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, turns first sod in Melksham Link Canal - (2010-09-09) [3023] Autumn walk from Bowerhill - (2010-10-31) [3157] A new monopoly on the ferry to Northern Ireland - (2011-02-04) [3183] Redevelopment on the banks of the Avon in Melksham - (2011-02-25) [3266] Easter on the Canal - near Melksham, Wiltshire - (2011-04-26) [3282] The future of canal management and charities - Kennet and Avon Canal bias - (2011-05-08) [3345] Cruising - (2011-07-04) [3483] Canals, watererways in the Melksham area - (2011-10-16) [3815] The Melksham News - July 2012 - Part 2, TransWilts Rail, Wilts and Berks Canal - (2012-07-23) [3998] Travelogue - from the Netherlands to London via Hook and Harwich - (2013-02-07) [4472] Rosslare to Fishguard - foot passenger on the ferry - (2015-04-24) [4577] An update - Melksham Link Canal and river - (2015-11-14) M205 - Well House Manor - Kennet District [670] Architectural Heritage - Devizes - (2006-04-04) [809] What to do during a Linux build - (2006-07-20) [824] Pictures of Avebury, Longleat and Dyrham - (2006-08-06) [825] Pictures of the Vale of Pewsey - (2006-08-07) [854] Morgans Hill - (2006-09-03) [861] Ballooning from Devizes - (2006-09-10) [865] Catching the slope - (2006-09-14) [935] Autumn leaves in Wiltshire - Potterne - (2006-11-21) [1070] Java Deployment course - lunch break - (2007-02-07) [1071] Making a mountain out of a molehill - (2007-02-08) [1346] Evening, Devizes and Sells Green - (2007-09-11) [1635] Spring in Devizes - (2008-05-08) [1640] Walking on The Wiltshire Downs - (2008-05-12) [1830] Caen Hill and Olivers Castle - (2008-10-10) [1842] Lua Course, and the Wiltshire Countryside too - (2008-10-16) [1846] Old Piles of the South West - (2008-10-18) [1916] Why I remember East Grafton - (2008-12-02) [2146] An evening excursion to Devizes and Avebury - (2009-04-30) [2362] Thornham Farm Shop, Seend Cleeve, nr Melksham - (2009-08-15) [2443] Contrasting Cambridge, Bristol and Wiltshire - (2009-10-08) [2687] A lovely spring afternoon - (2010-03-21) [2830] Poulshot Village Fete - (2010-06-27) [3284] What to do in the evening during a Tcl course - (2011-05-10) [3376] Kennet and Avon - Walk from Bedwyn to Pewsey.
