Looking miserable out there this morning.

quiet enuff for u then wbm

a few '' out for lunches'' ?? planned

[waterboatman]

Oh yes! :o} The lunch ones are the most popular. About three quarters are for lunch. the others are usually made up of birthday parties on board, they bring their own picnic to have as we toddle along the canal. Some want to go down to Purton to see the hulks. They were put in place to stop the river eroding the canal bank and breaching the canal. That would have been a disaster. It's an interesting sight. Have a look.
