I got a bit of a 'ticking off' yesterday for not keeping our blog and whereabouts up to date and feel suitably chastised! I do believe I've a legitimate defence though, in that until today I'd only spent three days on board Areandare in the last three weeks. So I'm thinking you'll all understand how … Continue reading A Chance meeting en route to Stone

We're actually currently moored in marvellous Marple, and Barry's trading here opposite the services for a couple of days. We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Melina (hope the spelling's correct?) … Continue reading Reflections from Brighouse to Huddersfield
Through Barry’s lens – Kiwi friends on board …
We've so much to blog about it's ridiculous, but things went awry while we were plagued by a distinct lack of internet signal for the wifi whilst in Huddersfield and Standedge (apparently there was a dysfunctional Vodafone mast). It's okay, we'll catch up again. And we've had other priorities to ponder on, as you'll know … Continue reading Through Barry’s lens – Kiwi friends on board …
