We are still stuck at Stoke. Mum now has a Chest Infection as well. Having problems
with ABS (antibiotics for non Micro readers)which one for which infection. Then sister
 decides to take dog(Lilly) for a walk and falls breaking her wrist first bone broken in
 50 yrs. Luckily I have never broke any in 57 years (touch wood).We are going stir
 crazy sitting in a house missing all this lovely snow on the cut. We should be out there
 braving the elements, we feel like right frauds sitting in a central heated house, never
 mind it will snow again. Boat is fine connected to shoreline all nice and warm.

Mum is home just got to get her strength back up then we can escape back to
Sokai. I am going mad sitting at home and its been such good cruising weather
since Christmas.
