Accentuate the Positive

If you like pork scratchings I can recommend these for a snack.

They are also healthy - according to the packaging

• Glutten Free
• High in Protein (48.9%)
• No MSG

 Based on these criteria I am surprised they do not mention

• High in Fat (46.6%)

Cruising Plans Scuppered !

Peel Holdings, who own the Bridgewater Canal and thus our link with the canals of the Midlands and south, have announced that they will be closing the canal for four months from mid February to repair a bridge.  So we will not be heading down to Stratford very early in the season. We should, however, be able to get into Liverpool so all is not lost.
In the meantime we are going away for a while and will try to keep you informed of our progress through the blog.
