Enjoying an afternoon of fishing on Friday I suddenly noticed something small struggling in the water. I wasn't a 100% sure of what it was but I just knew it was trying very hard to stay afloat. So more with curiosity then wanting to rescue the critter, I did no more then reach for it with the end of my pole. It grabbed hold of it with, what I can only assume, was a sense of relieve and pulling the pole back toward me I realised it was a cricket. Of course I had my camera and took some pictures. So these will be my 'And finally' at the end of this post.
We have had a fantastic long weekend with our son Colin and family. Our daughter-in-law Iwona's parents were visiting from Poland and it was all in aid of our grandson Oscar because it was his 5th birthday! As is typical with the Polish people, food and drink was served continually throughout the whole of Saturday and well into the evening. Once all the kids and their parents had left after Oscars party, we finished the night playing poker. Yours truly was winning until the final hand when it was all or nothing. For me it was nothing...... as I lost every penny! We returned to the boat Sunday afternoon only to find I had a text message on my phone ( which I had forgotten to take with me ) stating that Doug and James on
Nb Chance had sailed past us and, not having receiving an answer to their hail, assumed quite rightly that we were still with the family. Such a shame we missed them by only a couple of hours! Hope to see you next year guys.

We shall definitely catch up with you both next year, so sorry you weren't at home, although it looks like you have had a great weekend with the family. xx
We passed you as well, a bit earlier than nb Chance, who we passed at Wolverton.
Are you heading for Birmingham?
Love to meet up

Hi Roger and Pat,
We are on our way to Birmingham and hope to get there by Wednesday 16th. On the 17th we are going to see War Horse and will probably stay in Brum for a few more days. Hopefully you will still be there by then and we could all go out for a meal together.
