On Saturday it will be 5 years since Kathy and I got married. So to celebrate we are off on the boat for a short break. Heading up after work on Thursday and then heading towards Autherley. No great plans or schemes, we’ll take it as it comes and turn round half way through. We’ll […]

They had about 26 beers, mainly from local breweries, and a pig roast for when you got hungry. We […]
Here are a few pictures from Bude: The Falcon Hotel Situated right down by the canal on the edge of town – a 3 star hotel with a good restaurant and wifi (£5 for 24 hours) and with its own bar and a pub right next door what more could you ask for? The Canal […]
