10th May '11

We had a cruise out yesterday with the 'gang'. Mostly a lovely day for the trip - it was relatively calm to go out of the marina and John did it beautifully (very proud of him!). Lots of baby ducks, moorhens etc but no cygnets as yet. Lots of swans sitting on nests though so it can't be long.

Paddy more or less ignored Bruno (large brown lab) which was a comfort and coped fairly well with having a crowd on board - the first time it's happened for any length of time. He was happy to take some biscuits from Terry but once they were gone took a bit of a dislike to him and barked whenever he saw him! I stayed in the bow with Sue and Maureen and he was at the stern with the two John's, Terry sort of bounced between us and (thank you SO much Terry) managed to finally programme our dome! John has now mounted the TV on the wall and is going to get the Wii sorted out - oh happy days!!!! Not played it for over a year and need some practice I expect.

Anyway back to yesterday - we got up to Burton on the visitors moorings and while I got lunch out on the table ready for everyone to fill their plates and go out to the picnic table to eat it, the weather completely turned. Sky went black, wind blew a hooley, thunder and lightening started - you name it, we had it. SO lunch on board which was interesting but we managed it and hopefully a good time was had by all!

We eventually started on our way back and as we left the weather improved again and within 20min or so you wouldn't have believed the storm had ever happened. Blue skys and fluffy white clouds again. As we were nearing Willington, Paddy was getting quite noisy and I looked at my watch expecting it to be about 5 (his tea time) and it was 6.45! Poor little chap - no wonder he was a bit upset!

Couldn't believe how the time had gone but when we came to go into the marina it was mirror calm and mooring was text-book stuff!

Terry took loads of pictures so hopefully if they come through to me I shall put them on the blog  - I had a day off!

Visitors welcome - day trips with lunch a speciallity!
