2014 March Home Page


Gai and I did this trip a few years ago and it's a lovely day out so this time we thought we would take mum on it, as there is not much walking and it would be a great day out. Well Gai wasn't feeling up to it so Michael came instead and we all had a wonderful day.

Mum thoroughly enjoyed herself and Michael had a steer of the boat and chat with the captain.

The first pictures are earlier on in the week when mum flew in.
