The Merry Month of May :-)

Well what a merry month that was, we've been out & about doing lots of boating, selling plenty of fuel & meeting & tweeting some lovely people.

We've done our regular run up to Whaley Bridge & Bugsworth, down to Hardingswood Jn, down to Middlewich, to Chester & the Port, back to Middlewich & up to Preston Brook, down the lift, up & down the Weaver back all the way to Whaley Bridge, before heading down Marple Locks to Ashton & Droylsden & back to Macclesfield to reload.

We met lots of new customers as well as meeting a few people we only no in the virtual world of Twitter & Canalworld Discussion Forum, so that was a lot of fun! The highlight was having a lovely warm sunny day on the river to celebrate Ann Marie's Birthday, low point was having a very tough journey down on the Lower Peak Forest & Ashton, the air was blue!!

Sorry we haven't had much time for blogging, but our schedule has been hectic & we've been doing lots of micro-blogging & bantering on twitter. I'll try & post a few more photos & comments as time allows ;-)

Cheers, Brian
