Welford



On the way to Welford, we met 3 young men in canoes, who were making their way down to Camden Lock helping the Charity Help for Heroes. They have some friends in Afghanistan. They are not normally allowed through tunnels for obvious reasons, but we said they could come thru behind us. They called themselves Blazing Paddles. Well done, guys.


Dropped off dud battery and now have to wait around for it to come back from the makers to say yeah or nay. So off down the Welford Arm. !


Wow. Its really lovely down here. at the one small lock there is a buddleia? bush and it was abs. covered in butterflies and bumbles.Loads of good walks. Steve and Debbie Morley are visiting on sunday, so we don't mind being down here for a few days.


Now, some of you may know that Mick absolutley loves Bassetts Liquorish Allsorts.so...........

on the floor I found a small, dead slug( how it got there is anyones guess) and I had this thought . S0 I went to the back and said to the skipper " want a liquorish allsort?" " oooh, thanks ( looks at it,), where did you find this? ( as its heading for his cake-hole). I yelled " NO MICK" just in time. phew. I would never have let him put it in his mouth, honest ! can't stop laughing at the moment, though.
