Squirrel problems again (not really)

No, not the wood burner this time but one of the grey, furry variety. We were tied up at the Old Boat House at Astley Green on Sunday, a spot we've used many times previously. This time, however, there's acorns to be had and one little chap was going for it! As he laid waste to the tree above us we were the recipients of his debris. The sound of acorns hitting the roof was like someone letting rip with a small hammer!

 Still, it was a minor inconvenience as we sat on the rear deck, vino in hand. Later we were joined by this holiday wide beam, where a six night cruise from Manchester to Runcorn would set you back £1795 for six people! 

On Monday we headed off past Boothstown basin, going under the now complete bridge at Vicar's Hall Lane. I took a snap after passing through, capturing the Astley Green pit head gear in the background (I don't just throw this together, you know 😉)

Last night it was BBQ time

then fire pit time

then Gaz light time until around 10.30

Today we are in Sale after picking up this hitchhiker 

I'm not sure but I think that is a honey bee with some sort of tag attached?

Right, it's time to visit Tesco's to stock up on goodies for Wilson, who is having a sleepover tomorrow whilst Logan is doing the same at a friend's house. Last bit of babysitting as they both go to school next week. Poor Wilson!
