A boat did come past us yesterday morning, crunching through the icy crust. I reckoned yesterday's ice was about 1/4" thick and today's seems thicker if anything. In terms of our wellbeing it is no problem, we are warm as toast and have everything we need either on board or within easy reach. We do have a problem, however, in that we are facing the wrong way with the bow pointing towards Liverpool.
To turn around we need to get to a winding hole
STOP PRESS!! As I type a boat has just come crashing past us so I grabbed a quick pic
To access the nearest winding hole we have to go through two road bridges, one of which closes to boat traffic on Monday for a month. So we either follow this guy or wait until tomorrow, hoping for a thaw. Think we'll wait it out as the forecast shows no freezing on Sunday.
Yesterday was Burscough Christmas lights switch on day. We drove to Leigh, picked up the family and drove back here enabling Charlotte to take our car back to her house. In truth the switch on was OK but, unlike last year, there was no Santa parade. Still, the kids seemed to enjoy it!
Queue at the sweet shop!
