Aussies!

No, not the cricket lot this time! It's our friends Iain and Glenys from Edinburgh days. Glenys was doing the world tour, captured Iain's heart and ran with him back to Australia. We've seen them about once since.

It's great to have them on Erin Mae for a couple of days. Their last experience of the cut was in the mid-70s, hiring a boat with friends in the Chester area for a week. Iain's done boating of a different sort, so took to Erin Mae's tiller very easily.

We've come down the Staffs and Worcs on a very muggy evening. Hard to summon up the energy to cook tea. But what a good, relaxed way to catch up. Some friendships last very well.
