Still here at Hazelhurst Locks. !

We did have a trundle down the leek branch to......................Leek.  Mick didn;t want the trawl into the town, so we had a quick walk, and came back to our fave " mooring of the moment".  Jobs to do.  More windows have been re-furbed and the paintbrush will make an appearance tomorrow. My bead making is coming on, and so are my muscles. !!!!!   Apparently I will need them for Rochdale.

Chatting to a lady passing by with her brown labby called  Maggie,( who just had to have a nose inside the boat, mainly to see if Finlay had left any grub)--- the labby not the lady.  On chatting it turns out she is a nurse, so I asked her if she would have a look at Micks problem !!! hee hee.  Poor Mick has got an allergy to something( I think it may have been some HOME MADE laundry gel, ooops ). She confirmed that it was an allergy and that he needed Piriton or some anti histamine tabs. so Mr Tesco is going to bring us some. and then we can stop calling each other Itchy and Scratchy.


When we were moored  down at Consall Forge, we met up again with a couple whose blog I have followed for years. We first found it way back when we were still living in Spain and trying to sell our villa . Sue's blog kept us going,during the years it took to get a sale.  Anyway, since we have been back and narrowboating  we have seen them here and there, not every year but when we do meet up its good to  have a chat.  This time we managed to get to the pub together for a beer or 2 . Sue's blog is very informative and knowing she was ahead of us I was able to get in touch with her for a postal code , so that I could organise my Tesco drop and shop.  Cheers Sue, friday twixt 13.00 and 14.00, and as we will be running out of water here by then, we will be well ready for a shower in the "wet room" at the facilities..

We understand its "Music Night" at the Hollybush pub, tomorrow night, so may go and have a look.

So the lambs are leaping, a moorhen family are hanging about for bread, and the weather is rather nice( say it quietly, though ).  Washing dried, and could be a bbq later.
