  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Welcome May!

A sunny May day - albeit very blustery.

Went out walking along the canal. The same canal that runs past my home is the one that runs from Walsall into Wolverhampton, one of my favourite biking and walking routes. About a couple of miles away is a junction where there are a collection of barges that are permanently moored. I took this photo from the footbridge - looks very summery!

Went out on the bike today. Started from my home, used the canal towpaths, went through the local park, the nature reserve and woods, and stopped at a canal junction where there were barges moored and a few people out walking their dogs. Came back along the main canal to my home.

Total distance of 6 miles and finished the circuit within an hour. I was very disappointed with the time as it showed that I was terribly unfit, but very pleased with the weather which was warm and sunny. Had a welcome glass of chilled juice waiting for me when I got home - I needed it!

That sounds an incredible ride, wonderful! I love canal boats, Peter and I used to spend holidays on a canal boat. We got stuck under the bridge at Stratford on Avon once because the water was too high. We asked some tourists to come on the boat to bring it lower down in the water. They turned out to be Dutch and couldn't speak very good English. We finally managed to make them understand and about a dozen or more came on board chuckling away. The boat gradually sank enough to get under the bridge to loud cheers. Thanks to the Dutch tourists! And we went on our way after letting them disembark with our grateful thanks. Wonderful fun memories.

Canal boats are fantastic aren't they! I don't get much opportunity to ride on them, but see them all the time, and the people riding them always say hello and are very friendly. It requires a lot of patience I think, especially when navigating through locks which take a lot of effort (and time!) but it's such a peaceful, unhurried way of life.

Yes and it feels like a different world, so peaceful, no cars.

Reminds me of a time when I went down to Devon, near Tiverton, and went on a horse drawn barge!
