This is just a quick line to let you all know that we are fine.  Have been back on board since late on Friday.  Dave, Paul’s brother, came back with us which was lovely.  I had help with the locks for a couple of days while we made our way to Hebden Bridge.  If you watched ‘Last Tango in Halifax’ it is where the narrow boat was moored briefly at the end of one season.  Yesterday we got the train into Manchester with him.  We had to make sure he got on the Megga Bus safely, didn’t want him coming back, ha ha/lol.  Then today John Sheerstone and his son Jack came to see us.  John works at Stonehouse, which is how we know him.  Although we make friends along the way it is always good to see people from 'home'.  We are now on the Rochdale Canal.  96 locks in total, so far we have done 11.  Still more enjoyable than a visit to the gym!
