Sorry to have missed you Terry, you passed our house between bridges 30
& 31, however Tam Lin is not moored at the bottom of the garden as she
is away, in Newbold, being blacked. I am pleased to say Maureen is still
at Wardle lock cottage and I am sure she would have been sorry to have

friend, however she does speak her mind if you do something silly in
'her' lock :-)
Best Regards
Hope to catch up with you later in the year.
