At the moment there is a big fund raising campaign in Audlem for "Mend my Mum" – to raise funds to send a very special lady, who has a very rare form of cancer, to America for treatment not available here on the NHS. I always feel a bit in awe of people who attempt fundraising like that as
Very exciting today – our new flag poles have arrived and Colin has spent the day plucking up the courage to go out in the torrential rain to put them up (I'll steer well clear of any kind of 'erection' jokes at this stage!) In fact we were treating the whole thing with quite a degree of
Sad week this week. One of our moorers, John Wood, who was also a family friend, sadly passed away on Friday morning. It was something of a shock and the office was a very subdued place for the rest of the day. John has been with us since we opened and loved to do a bit of gardening here and there,

It feels like evey time I go into the Overwater office at the moment someone has either grown and beard or shaved it off – I just can't keep up! First it was Colin who kept his Movember beard then arrived back after holidays completely clean shaven (I just couldn't put my finger in what was so)
