Hail (and other suitable weather conditions)

I was indeed, Kitty, sailing the seven seas (well, a brief but very pleasurable if somewhat chilly cruise in the Solent) over half-term.   Sadly I didn't get any Mudcatters to come with me, but we had a good time all the same.

I am now back at my desk and indeed the chalkface, with only a term and a half to go before I leave :-D   ..... and will be available to skipper full time (end of advert).

Southport is indeed within my purlieu but sadly I don't have a digital camera that works.   You might try LesB who lives in Southport. What's the address?
