flexable

Remembered to put the clocks back.
To day we phoned our friends L&C in England to see if we can get a canal holiday organised for our two families to do together. We would need a 9/10 berth boat. We have a brochure from Anglowelsh and the narrowboat we would need would be Classic class, Cathedral name and would be 69ft long!! Our last boat was 50ft and S has rented a boat 69ft long when he went with his pals before I knew him. The last time we went with L&C on the canals was BC (before children) and we had a great time. I hope we can get something arranged. In 2002 we went on the kennet and avon canal and the kids did not really enjoy it but I'm sure if they had company of their own age it would make a great difference. We are trying to be flexable about the date and place to make it easier to find a mutual week and boat that is available. Fingers crossed.

Halloween. Gave out lots of candy, seemed to be more people out than I have seen before. Most kids seem to carry a pillow case to collect their candy in which seems a little greedy looking!
My kids did not go out trick or treating although J, dressed as a nurse, went to several parties and seemed to have a very good time!! Candy ran out about 8:00pm but that was when most trick or treaters seemed to stop for the night. Our pumpkins survived too although there were a couple of pumpkins smashed in the road this morning.
