What an exciting week it's been (apart from the weather). We've been building a bridge. Well, not exactly Angus and I, because clearly that would be quite difficult. That's not to say we couldn't knock up a perfectly respectable bridge if we tried, it's just that you probably wouldn't
I came to work today on a slightly unusual mode of transport – in fact there can't be that many people who get there by a rather large (4 steps!), rather dirty and extremely bumpy green and yellow tractor – well actually round here there probably are quite a few people who get to work that way, but
Great news! I spotted some of the first ducklings on the way home this week – there are nine of them on the old railway cutting right next to the marina and also three more on the marina itself.

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
Last week was a week of breaks in more ways than one! Angus was 40 last week so I'd planned a little romantic break at a beautiful spot in North Wales called Lake Vyrnwy. It's only about an hour and twenty minutes away and is well worth a visit. The lake was created to provide drinking water
