    Hi Everyone  We have had Quite a busy weekend, Sat was spent doing a few boating jobs and  getting ready for the kids coming tomorrow Life jackets out everything that can fall in the river stowed away I take all precautions when Pippa, Zac, and Evie arrive but how else would you have it.

I spent it fishing or as Noreens dad use to call it " Drowning maggots" and that sums up my attempt at fishing this afternoon. Its worth saying though That

Off we go agian

 Good Morning campers  Having set out yesterday for our next destination almost everything went according to plan..

 I have been trying for two days to sort out this Blogg the one I have has three years of Australia on it and 9 years of boating which is far to boring to go through so I decided to open up a new one still using blogspot but Im finding it hard going so I might just have to get Thomas on it he will soon have it sorted. Im ok on computers but its the language they use just like electricians Im sure they learn a foreign bloody language or is it just to make them look cleaver? anyway I have stuck with it and here we go.  All I have to do is remember how I post it. How I edit it, How I attach pics so just bear with me If you can find then tell me if you then also tell me
