High Lane

We awoke to a white world this morning.

Then most of our plans changed. We arrived at High Lane to get the windows taken out so that the steel could be de-rusted and repainted before being replaced for the repainting of the boat. This became impossible, so we had to cancel the boat painting itself and the dry-dock and everything else. So we will wind tomorrow and head back for Birmingham.

The holiday we'd booked in Scotland while the boat was out of the water has also had to be changed - but we managed to change the pick-up point from Manchester to Birmingham.

The really good news, though, was that the police telephoned regarding the broken window - we can claim the costs through the Courts, so maybe he won't just get off with a caution.

This is a card that I made for our friend Julia who was about to have an operation on her shoulder.

No opting for the steering now when there are locks to be done!!!
