A quarter to six start and just as we were approaching the locks a hire boater asked to join us. They were brilliant, Dad, Mum and 2 daughters plus Granny. All helped with the locks and we were at the top of the Stockton locks well before their 9am deadline for the return of the hire boat.
We went on and did the Calcutt locks. This is what the middle lock was like.
Fortunately there were boats coming down and there was enough water for us to come up.
Then it was on the Napton junction, a left turn and stop at one of our favourite spots, by Bridge 103, and it was only 10am.
Boy, is this stretch busy. There were boats going past all day long. By 4pm there were boats moored all along the Armco piling.
I loved making this "tent" card for a wedding of a Polish couple.
I covered the front and inside of the card with lovely floral paper. A large round aperture was cut into the front of the card and a frilly edged frame was stuck over the top. Then I added lots of leaves and flowers and large pearl on top.
Inside I die-cut the frilly circle after printing out the names and date and stuck it to the back of the card.
The box was covered in more of the floral paper, matted onto silver card and another frilly circle with the names and dates printed on it was stuck onto the top of the box.
The couple buying the card loved it, took it away and someone told them that they had got the date wrong!!!!!!
I printed of 2 new sets of dates and stuck them over the wrong date with sticky fixers. Think we got away with it.
