Hi Everyone

Here I am again, we are still here at the bottom end of the river weaver we have been here six nights now and its been great, since my last communique our Keith and Carol have been, remember I said we were having our annual fishing competition well we did and I have to report that I lost; not only did I loose but I as out fished, out maneuvered and out classed. our kid deserved the trophy and well won it was. I know you will all be saying How did I loose and it must have astounded you all to think that I could be beat, but everyone has to loose sometime and the Idea is to loose gracefully. the rotten Ba-----

We had a bit of excitement on Tues night, it was howling a gale, Keith said he had seen a narrow boat pass and it had moored in the middle of the flash it wasn't until we met a Anderton hire boat man at the gate saying he had had a distress call from one of his boats saying that they had gone aground on the flash, the Anderton man said he would have to call the helicopter and fire brigade out and the people on the boat would have to pay for it all as they had specific instructions not to enter the flash, anyway it all ended quite quietly as the wind was so strong it blew the boat into deep water were he was able to be instructed on a safe passage out.

We have had a great time the past few days Carol and Keith are great fun and the weather has been fantastic. last night we went out for dinner it was a bit of a ploy really as we have no TV reception here on the boat but the pub did and of course it was England v Croatia last night so we were able to watch that, Now you all know that Noreen is not a fan of football but give her her due she sat as was prepared to watch the match everything was going well until they started showing the replays Noreen started cheering again thinking that England had scored another goal and wonder why it looked the same as the last one. Then of course she had to air her professional views on how the game was progressing and why on earth did we have an Italian Manager. And why could England could afford to loose the next matches and still go through, whats the bloody point in that! she demands, so you can see with Noreen's expertise England will now go on to win the world cup (with her help) Keith and I were glad to leave and leave the pub thinking "who the hell was that"

Tomorrow we are leaving here and heading up river for the weekend not sure were we will just trust to luck on moorings and see were we end up.

Speak soon
