Ellesmere. Day 23.


It begins!...... and the law of sod strikes again.

Down it came the other day and then after a slight dusting it stopped.

The sun was out, the shopping was done and the town had been visited so we decided to throw the hose over and fill Ubique up with water - and at the same time - the boat next door.

Guess what? .....Yep....around the corner came a boat!

Now, this might not seem too strange as this is a canal full of boats after all, but what is strange is that it was the only boat to be moving that day, to actually come around that corner in the exact half hour "window" when we had the hose across can cause your head to start twitching and a slight tic to appear in your eye.

Opening the back doors this morning to this view was a little bit more like it. Nowhere near the punishing levels of snow other places are suffering though.

It's still at the pretty level.......... for the time being.

Most people are really mucking in at the moment.

One chap is organising a diesel run in a borrowed van, just give him the empty cans and they will be filled at a garage for twenty pence a litre less than the going rate here.

When you are buying in at the hundred litre mark that is a good twenty pound saving, not to be sniffed at.

We can buy a turkey now.

Until next time.....................
