A big Hello to all.
Another cloudy bright and cool day here in Blighty, 11C going to class this morning.
We have a new instructor for class, a young girl full of energy and enthusiasm, and boy does she work us hard.
This arvo a trip to Wigan for a mooch, always a pleasant afternoon.

Hope your cold is improving Mo, it's horrible being unwell isn't it?
Well done to Marie for starting us off.

Lizzie, I forgot to mention that while you were away we were having a walk up the L & L canal from Rose Bridge and a couple in their fifties I would say, stopped us to ask about the canal.
It turns out the bloke was originally from Ashton but had emigrated to Oz in 1985, his wife was Australian and they were over here because his Mum had died and they were having few weeks holiday after the funeral.
The lady in particular was amazed at the canals construction, especially as there are 21 locks from Wigan Pier up to Top Lock.
They had been to Wigan Pier a few days before.
He had a funny mixed accent, about 80% Australian with just the odd bit of Wigan with it, LOL, I suspect you are pure Oz aren't you?
Anyroad we had a good chat.
