Fish with glasses...
It must be said that if fish needed glasses they would be well provided for by Tim and I...
Unfortunately Tims 11 month old glasses decided they wanted a swim in the dock yesterday and today we were £200 worse off for the pleasure.
What's driving us mad is the fact that every other time we have been in the dock we have been able to see the bottom, not this time...
We also had some unhappy news today about a fellow boating friend who took ill last night and things aren't looking too good so please all say a little prayer....I don't want to mention names as its not my place but just a moment of your thoughts would mean a lot..
Tim and I are devastated......

What's in a name
Hi everyone, our boat was launched on Monday 4th Feb 2013, 4 months later than anticipated but deffo worth the wait....
Our name has changed slightly as the sign writer managed to put an extra 'E' into our name. Now then we have Millie and Maizee, we took the last 'E' from each name d put the rest together, hey presto
MilliMaize but on the new boat he left Millie's name in full so now we are MillieMaize.
Never mind, we quite like it and we didn't even tell the sign writer....
We're in the Salthouse dock this week in Liverpool but will soon be on our way.
More pictures soon....

Lots Happening...
Well, I am still having problems getting pictures on from my iPad, even though it worked for me last time....
Anyway, after travelling through to liverpool one of our original thoughts came back and changed our lives. MILLIMAIZE NARROWBOAT HAS BEEN SOLD! And in her place a widebeam is being built.
We are so excited having been restricted by our 65' length we aren't concerned about our 12ft width which will give us more privacy with us having a young boy who is now 15 1/2 yrs now.
She should be ready just before or just after Xmas and we are beyond ourselves if just a tad fed up in the caravan...anyway I was hoping to get pictures of the build on here and I will keep trying..promise

Hi everyone, after our 2 weeks in liverpool we have been enjoying the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Its been a busy time too as my sons league 2 team Crewe Alex reached the playoffs yippee....
Not only that, they won there games and tomorrow 27th May 2012 they play at Wembley stadium in the final.
You may not know crewe alex but the team has 9out of the 11 players from their own academy with most having been there for over 10 years and still only 21/22. There are a couple only 18 and 17 and my son at Aew is one of the experienced players with over 100 games under his belt. They have been called a bunch of kids but on a 18 game unbeaten run I think they can be reckoned as men in their game. Well were off to Wembley tomorrow and coming home jubilant. !
Oh my, I have finally discovered how to upload pictures from my iPad to here...
I have missed blogging but just boring text was not going inspire anyone to read!
Lots has happened and lots is happening but before that can I share with you my sons Wembley trip and a few pictures from the summer......The first picture is of our good friends Dot & Colin on their boat Ascot, we spent the summer of 2012 with them. Can I apologise for the pike appearing 3times!
