Friends Reunited.

Yesterday we stayed on the mooring until after the omnibus edition of the Archer's. It was a lovely wedding of Ed and Emma with the reconciliation of brothers William and Ed. However I did think it was a bit weird that they wanted an ex husband of Emma (one of the brothers) to be best man of the other brother! It also meant that by the time we left the rain had long gone and it had warmed up too. As it was Bank Holiday weekend there were quite a few boats moving about. We had to wait a while at Wolverley Lock and a much shorter wait at Wolverley Court Lock.

This looks like and original cast iron bridge with the name and number cast into it. I have never seen this before and I am also a little surprised that the Bridge number has stayed the same. I also see that it has the split bridge for the passage of a horse rope but the more recent rails prevent its use now.

Helen was going home from Kidderminster so I was wondering where the best berth for me would be. It seems like most towns people tell you that it is not a good idea to stay there due to unspecified trouble that has befallen so unknown persons. However we did meet a couple that had spent over five days there as the wife had been taken ill and had no problems. Therefor we stopped on the moorings near to Sainsbury's car park where there are rings. It is very quiet and I get any sun there is from about 1100. Once we had got settled we had a phone call and then expected a visit from our friends Chris and Cyd. They had never been to the boat before and it was great to see them both looking so well after a long period of ill health and other problems. We chewed the fat for a few hours aboard before adjourning to the King and Castle which is the Refreshment Room for the Severn Valley Steam Railway. The Batham's Bitter went down very well.

It was great to see them both and doing so well. We have also started the ball rolling for a reunion of all the lads and lasses that were with the rugby team that we played for in the good old days.
