Headed off on Friday 5th June to stockton heath for the night with Peter and Liz on their boat then onto the Runcorn arm.
Spent a couple of hours moored up in Runcorn at the end of the arm then headed back up to Daresbury for the night.
Peter and Liz headed back on Sunday afternoon but Tim and I hung around for another night.
Felt like we had been away for ages.
I would like to share with you our journey from land to water and from narrowboat to widebeam. If you do come along for the ride we hope you enjoy....

Had a little cruise on the bank holiday weekend, just to Moore but really enjoyed the break from the mooring.
Oh did I tell you about Daisy our new Jack Russell. She is gorgeous, had to make her a jumper out of a sock.

Permanent mooring
Well after getting a temp mooring at grapenhall at the beginning of December were now permanent.
After 5years of continuous cruising it's time to sit still.
Kal, who we took out of school to cruise is now nearing 18 and friends and work have become part of our lives for him.
Being near to Widnes is important so Grapenhall is a good catch.
Mission g the freedom but hopefully it won't be too long before were on the move again..

Mooring
Peter and Liz have secured a mooring in Grapenhall today and were in line for one.
Havnt had a mooring ourselves but it's been hard over the last 18 months with Kal in college, trying to be as near as we could but not flouting the rules so think we will be settling until he has found his own feet.

Peter and Liz update
Liz is a bit better, dressing removed and on the mend. Travelled with them to boothstown to do the locks and swing bridges as it will be a while before Liz can do anything like that.

Broken collar bone!
Well, not even a week on their new boat and my sister in law Liz has fallen down the steps and broken her collar bone.....up early she went on deck to bring washing in without opening the hatch.
Unfortunately with not being used to boating she attempted to come back in 'forwards'......lesson learned....She woke so.e time later on the floor in agony. Unable to shout through the pain she scrambled a cross the floor till she reached something to help get herself to her feet and made her way to Peter to wake him.
Then to hospital.....
Get well soon Liz x x
