I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. We were on holiday when you passed otherwise you could have stopped for a glass, or two. The moorings before Gayton are long term both sides. If you had trouble mooring please will you write & tell BW. Sue, the moorings warden, needs backing up. She keeps telling bw that they need more visitor moorings but they keep letting moorings & winter moorings. I am very happy with my Orange £5 per month evenings & weekends but I am still using my qtek 2020i because I don't like the nokia phone supplied by Orange. I can't remember its number but it has qwerty keyboard and a toggle thing in the middle. It toggles onto anything but the thing you are aiming for. Sue nb Nackered Navvy
