Un four our next trick...erm...we apologise profusely to any moles who feel exploited.

Interestingly, boatmen on UK narrowboats traditionally wore moleskin trousers & waistcoats. Real moles, which presumably they or their poacher friends had trapped. Even though i am veggie, i don't actually object too much to this sort of stuff, all things must pass & moles can be a pain if they are in large numbers in small places. Anyway, no mole catcher ever kills all the moles; he would be doing himself out of a job!

So sorry for not responding to your kind post earlier. I can't think why I missed it for so long. Shiveringly, it's now too cold to go about in shorts of any sort. Life on the narrowboats is very appealing. So, if that's what it takes to get into my own moleskins, anything I have to give up in exchange would be a welcome trade.

Oooh, watch out saying that sort of thing! Anyway, here's how to go Cruising at Christmas...

(You can always wear the moleskin shorts on top, sort of narrowboat Batman effect)

... and the world laughs with you.

Sorry, I'm a bit out of practice. I'd love to do just that - some winter boating, that is.
