I couldn't let this week go by without saying a big thank you to Brian Phillips from nb Emily who arranged for an Astronomy Evening at the marina last Saturday night. Will Stewart of the South Cheshire Astronomy Society showed us how to look for the major constellations and I was amazed to discover
Sorry – it's been so hectic this month I've hardly had time to put pen to paper. September was busy last year and it's been even busier this time which is great – I don't know where the days go to – they seem to fly past. It's been a month of change – Sue has gone over to the workshop

It feels like it's ages since I last wrote a blog – we've been away in Derbyshire for a week with the children. Funny climate Derbyshire......the rest of the country can be bathed in hot sunshine and Derbyshire seems to remain consistently cooler, cloudier and just that bit wetter. I should
