Hi
I know I have said it before but at last we are on our way.
What a glorious morning it was to start our journey and people waved us off maybe they were just glad to see the back of us? even Colin the 30lb Carp came to say bye well actually Colin was feeding off the algae on the hull when Noreen opened the hatch window and disturbed him he decided to do a large carp roll and splash it put the sh----- up Noreen she thought she was being attacked by a mini sub. Leaving Scarisbrick is filled with Sadness and Joy Sadness because we are leaving the friendship and security of the Marina and Joy because we are off to write another chapter in our continuing adventure. Thanks to everyone at Scarisbrick their hospitality is second to none Sarah, Danny and Wayne are full of genuine hospitality and care.
Today trip was only a short one edging ourselves in slowly managed to get a mooring outside Crooke Hall pub met two great people Mike and Barbara he has built his own 25ft Narrow boat said He got to 70 and realised he had always wanted a boat so he built one and its a little belter what a guy I just love the eccentric people you meet on the cut.
We are sat here at the side of the beer garden and Noreen has just observed that there are lots of people "Dog Walking" but they are not as they only walk to the pub sit outside with the dog SAT at their feet she has even noticed people arriving in the car so the only exercise the dog gets is from the car to the table. Yes as I said great to see the variety of extroverts and introverts and lazy sods you get on the cut
Weather today was fantastic tomorrow we are stopping over night in Liegh and catching up with great old friends Andy and Sue Andy use to work on boats at Fettlers good mechanic sadly now retired
OK no blog tomorrow as tomorrow night I am testing Rhubarb & Ginger Gin but using a ginger ale mixer I will let you know how things evolve
God Bless
