Well we got back on board about 9pm on Saturday having dropped Richard at Bristol Airport for his flight to Wroclaw.  Though we fared rather better than him.  His flight was diverted to Poznan, some two and a half hours by coach from his home, which he finally reached at 6am the following morning instead of about 11.30 the night before.  Still at least it was Sunday so one days rest before work!

We had a lovely time in Plymouth.  THE Wedding of the year was lovely.  Of course Lisa looked lovely as all brides do.  Phil brushed up quite well too.  Managed a group photo then Bride and Groom went off to the lake for a photo shoot, getting back just before the rain started!  Everything was in one venue, St Mellion Golf Club, so the weather didn’t make too much difference.  Our week went by quickly again, the sun being out every day bar the Monday of the wedding I think!  Again we managed to catch up with several friends.  If it wasn’t you, sorry there is always next time!

So it is 3^rd of June and we are underway again.  As I type we are travelling through the Gosty Tunnel.  Paul has just realised the tunnel light is not working.  For once we didn’t check it before starting.  Ah well there’s nowhere else to go anyway. 

We have now been living on Falcon for a year.  Don’t know where that time has gone!  Still enjoying our life of change and adventure. 

We are now working our way to Merry Hill which is a shopping area a bit south of Dudley.  On Friday we meet there with about 19 other boats to go on a ‘cruise’.  More of a convoy of 20 boats.  It is organised by the Birmingham Canal Navigation Society (BCNS) and we are spending the next week cruising with them around the canal systems of Birmingham.  We don’t go into the city.  We head up towards Wolverhampton, then towards Wallsall with talks and visits organised along the way.  The week finishes at Pelsall where we will take part in a weekend rally.  Something very different, so if I don’t blog for a while you will know it is because we are busy.  Probably chatting to all the others there! So until next time.  TTFN
