Birmingham

Hi
Well as the last bog said we climbed up the Hatten flight and managed to get the Buggerlugs squeezed into Lyons Boat Yard that was last Saturday Maryanne collected us Sunday dropping us off at Fettlers Wharf to collect the car, we spent three days at a Travel Lodge in Blackburn  soaking in a bath its strange when we lived in the cottage I very rarely had a bath it was always showers but to just simply lie and relax well it was very nice spent lots of time with Thomas and watching him play Cricket baby at the Pippa and Zac weds and Thurs funeral Friday which I may say was a very nice one hundreds of people to give Russ a really good send off `Sat we baby sat the kids again even took them to the zoo there must have been thousands there all complaining that the animals weren't out I tried explaining to one irate lady who said "its otter that this were they come from" I did point out that most animals in here were born here and not use to the extreme heat she went away muttering about stupid people, well maybe I am.
Now we are back on Buggerlugs we brought her into Birmingham on Monday but then we both went down with a tummy bug its now Weds and it looks like we are over it anyway out for an Indian tonight that should sort the men from the Boys
Now unfortunately we have to go to another funeral next Tue its a friend of ours from  Church we are hoping to find a secure spot to leave Buggerlugs and get a hire car for the day its only 2/3 hours from here which is only a 24 hr hire.
after that we are still just toddling along no rush just enjoying the weather, Though I am getting more and more anxious about loosing any more water out of the canal its now very low and I am wondering where the first stoppage will be  I hope its near a pub and  Aldi

Just returned from dinner remember I said we were off to have an Indian well we just come back from the Handmade Burger Co Noreen's choice cant say  much as they had ran out of chips nobody had taught the Chef? how to peel spuds I offered but was refused access to the kitchen (WHY)
Anyway this is a great place to stop over as food sellers are everywhere and by 11 its all over and everyone is in bed.

Speak soon
Buggerlugs
