Sorry Melva, I have now gone back to this lay-out as I didn't like the other, and yes you are right " we don't like change!.
Friday we spent the night at a place called Rishton, on BW 48 hour moorings. The write up in the book calls it a " grey lancashire town", well they were right. Didn;t really have a nice feel about it, but we were wet and tired. !   I did get the giggles watching a bloke lurch accross the bridge, clutching a pizza box and singing at the top of his voice.  He was going at such an angle,I felt sure that he was going to keel over.
We are in sort of roughty-toughty areas now, with all the industry of Blackburn and Burnley.  The old mills are fascinating, and still in really good condition.  such a shame that some wealthy person can't do them up. etc.
Saturday, and another choice mooring. !   Behind BW locked gates this time. Grim. enough said.
Sunday a shop up at Morrisons, BEhind locked gates AGAIN. !
But by the afternoon we had reached the summit of the Leeds and Liverpool, its really beautiful and we will slow up a bit now to enjoy the views.

Saw a shnoozle. !   Can Sue Saunders guess what it is ?????    a cross twixt a Scnauzer and a poodle.  He was very cute. all black. Gettin g stuck into some sheep droppings, and then he found a bit of sheep wool ro race around with.  Finlay came out of the boat and barked at him, and off he went
