When will it EVER stop raining??? It feels like it's been raining forever and the caravan site is at serious risk of becoming another marina! We've had to cancel all the caravans for the Bank Holiday Weekend which has caused me much angst – it would be fair to say it has caused me the odd sleepless
We seem to be having all the seasons in one day today! Wind, rain, hail, sun and now flat calm. Poor Colin has been out doing a spot of work on the ends ofthe jetties and has just come back in resembling a rather drowned out (water)rat. I've got a new trainee here today – Angus has a day off at
Fantastic news – the Audlem Lass is back in business! She started running on Good Friday and had a brilliant first day ferrying passengers from the marina to the bottom of the locks and back. The girls are particularly pleased at the news. Isabelle spent most of last summer asking me if there was anything

I just discovered that one of our moorers has been keeping a secret, well Ok – perhaps that's put a little strongly, it wasn't exactly a secret, more something that he just omitted to tell us – anyway, being the crack commando team that we are, we've weedled it out of him, and it turns out
I often wonder if it's just us who have such varied days at the marina or whether it's the norm in other businesses too. On Sunday we had grown up stuff to do – we've been watching the weather forecast for days and have managed to hold off turning the water off until now, but with temperatures
