We were sat quietly reading yesterday afternoon when a knock on the window interrupted the peace, it was a couple of the BW crew that were trimming trees & shrubs. They had just taken a large dead oak branch down & did we want some of it? Err yes please!

So this morning we moved the few hundred yards along the canal & got about 2/3rds of this lot on the roof, should keep us warm for a while :)
We carried on for a couple of hours & are now moored in Hockley Heath for the next few days. After mooring up we had a walk up into the village to see what's what & collected some post from the very helpful lady at the post office. I then got busy in the sunshine & washed the side of the boat, we'd got mud everywhere whilst loading the wood. 
Tomorrow I'm off to Manchester for the weekend & leaving Mark to his own devices, he's found a TV signal & the village stores will supply the daily papers & choccy biscuits so I think he'll be fine....
