Off we go agian

 Good Morning campers 

Having set out yesterday for our next destination almost everything went according to plan.. Up dressed breakfast a few jobs to make Buggerlugs ship shape and off to the shops and back  in an hour something of a record. then it was cast off First port of call was water Noreen is doing more washing today .  Putting on water was a bit precarious as you have to share the platform with a load of Brickeis who are making improvements to the amenities jetty anyway I soon recovered from that ordeal and its then off to our next mooring we are now on the boat lift mooring but not the new pontoon ones they are all full of boats that have been there since Noah passed by we are on a mooring that is on the picnic park one that we have used for the past ten years. The boat in front of us is a very old wooden working boat  towing (when it moves ) a old BW maintenance which in all reality is a small holding on the water including chickens crowing away all day its not for me to dictate how people run their boat but I do object the cocks crowing at 05.30. Sorry I transgress The pics I took on the way here show a very gentle cruise and it just shows how Pics can lie I arrived here soaked to the skin and knackered I had to fight squalling winds mixed with  torrential rain and typically as I drove the last mooring pin in it stopped, However thats life the rest of the day was very damp so all the washing was not going to dry for the first time since we set out we lit a fire last night. this morning we awoke to a lovely day that was 2 hours ago its now dull and over cast just right for fishing so thats me set for the day 

Look after you and yours and Stay safe 

It would appear only Julie is receiving the blog. I know its not as instant as Whatsapp but I can write more than one sentence on this 

God Bless Buggerlugs

This is and old Liverpool Flat it brought good from Liverpool docks
 up to the Trent and Mersey canal onto Narrow Barges then along the canal to placses foreign like Stoke and Stafford or even exotic such as Birmingham 
What I am more interested in is the yellow plant on the front that would make a great ground cover or my garden any one what it is? 
The picture above and Below is part of the weaver trail it starts at the Anderton lift its a lovely walk and flat 


If you van see him this is Henry the Heron every year we com down the Weaver 
You can find him sat in which must be his favourite Perch 


Just casting off from the service jetty on our way it is actually raining

  High everyone  Well the time has come,we will be setting sail for our 2023 cruise next Thursday it's been a long time coming this year almost 2 months behind. I am now beginning to get a little concerned with this beautiful weather we are experiencing by the time we set sail we will be low on water and Canal River Trust will again as usual be sat on their backside expecting everyone to do something but them. I am not going to start complaining about CRT I do that direct to them though I do believe that my mail to them reaches the bin before anyone reads it, All I can say is I have an ongoing Campaign to rule them unfit for purpose. Last year's cruise consisted of two trips to Liverpool which is at best and taking your time only a three-day trip, all because Canal river trust know nothing about canals and definitely nothing about boats and boaters. and what they know about water conservation you could put on the back of a postage stamp. Yet this stupid government has put them

Ferry across Merssey

 Today we decided to go over to New Brighton by traveling on the Ferry from Liverpool to Seacombe and walk the 3 mile to New Brighton along the Esplanade and the Magazine store. Its a lovely walk watching all the boats go in and out of the port, you can imagine how it was in years gone bye with hundreds of boats waiting out in the estuary for their turn to unload. However our walk was done with the wind and rain on our back and almost in our 3 mile walk we only met two other people.  On reaching New Brighton and the rain still comming down in turents we decided to take and early lunch. We found a chippy that in both Menu and decore  was back in the 50s. However food was really good and cheap though Noreen did not apreciate the Pea juice soaking into her Salad? You had best let Noreen explain that one.  After lunch the rain really started to come down, so we decided to take the advice of one of our diners and take the Bus back not just to Seacombe but direct to Liverpool, It was the bes
