  1. It’s definitely been a hard winter so far, not just the flooding but also snow and ice. You always have a smile on your face and you take everything in your stride with your faithful companion by your side. It’s terrible what has happened on the Bridgewater canal, it will take a lot of time and money to repair it. What a beautiful Jay, I’ve not seen one for years and wow, the pea hens and that really friendly Robin! Zephyr is excited just like a little chid in the snow, she doesn’t seem to feel the cold at all. Take care Vanessa, stay safe and warm. xxxxx

  2. @ Thank you for your reply. There has been quite serious flooding at Sawley Marina, where we moor our cabin cruiser Seren. We went to check on the ropes the day before the flooding was expected and the staff at the marina, do twice daily checks when there is flooding, they cruise round on small boats loosening ropes etc, if needed, so all is well there. We live in the Peak District which is a beautiful place to live and we’ve had a lot of snow and ice that is slowly melting. I’ve been loving the blue skies and frosty days, it’s so much nicer than the grey days that we get a lot of in England. Lots of love. xxxx
