    The cup cakes looked good I didn’t know you could use chia seeds as an egg substitute . I also don’t know if you know but to use chia seeds you need to bash them in a pestle and mortar or blender or you don’t get the full health benefits. Another great vlog, I’ve just watched the Narrow Escape episode where you were on the tidal Thames. There can’t be many bunnies who have done that journey and had it recorded for prosperity. Lovely vlog. xxxx

    You could challenge the "We was here before it was up" and that you didn't notice it because you don't pass it and no one officially informed you since you started mooring under the 2 week agreement spot. This is something to ask the trust about to see what they say. But you guys did the right move of moving for the peace of mind.

    The reduced mooring times are questionable, all we know for certain is that there is no penalty in any legislation or bylaw that refers to it, any charge for overstaying would be a civil matter and definitely cannot be added to your licence fee or your licence refused renewal because of any outstanding charges. FOI states that no one has been charged fees for this unless they were not told by CRT it was not mandatory, those who declined were not taken to court.

    I have a horrible feeling that the CRT are going to be changing the rules about 2 week mooring spots a lot more to 2 Days,the Canals and Rivers are getting busier with people moving onto the Rivers and Canals,CRT are pushing up prices going by length and there is a lot of talk about Diesel Engines being Banned,as well as Solid Fuel Fires. Boat prices have gone ridiculously high and it all points to a lot more boats and not enough moorings. I have a sneaking suspicion that CRT are going to be insisting on ALL Boats having a permanent Mooring rather than there being constant cruising soon. Now is the time to be thinking about getting rid of Boats with Diesel Engines and heating systems and the Solid Fuel fires while you can get a decent price for your boat and then investing in a Electric Boat that is going to be the Norm very soon 🤷‍♂️.

    In most places that claim themselves as democracies, laws can't be enforced ex post facto. I wonder if that would apply to CRT rules. If you moored before the 2-day rule went into effect, they shouldn't be able to make you move. But obviously, I don't know how those things work, maybe CRT is above the law. 😅
