Golden Wedding Anniversary

What a great weekend. The 'Do' on Saturday at the lock cottage was a great success. The weather was kind to us and apart from one very small shower, stayed dry and warm. The basin was full of boats again which the locals find fascinating as so few boats make it up the Erewash.

Margaret and Dennis. 50 wonderful years together.

 So yesterday we left Sandiacre with a convoy of 6 boats. We are all heading for the rally at Pelsall. We're hoping to arrive by Thursday or Friday but with the holiday season well and truly on the way, we may have some very long queues at some of the locks. Early starts are called for but to try and get 6 boats moored up together might be a struggle. Last night we stopped between Western and Swarskstone lock and out came the BBQ again. Well we just had to finish what meat was left on the BBQ on Saturday and any excuse for a good old chinwag will do
