Hello again, It's Pugwash here. Wow, what a an evening we had yesterday. After we had moored in the basin in Wolverhampton. We had some wonderful people visit us. Several members of Charlie's family arrived the principle one of which was Charlie's last surviving direct descendant,his daughter, Irene. It was a fantastic honour and privilege to welcome them on board and discuss many stories and the working history of the boat from a "first hand" perspective. The family spent over 2 hours with us and it seemed like 2 minutes. A fantastic moment and certainly the highlight of the trip. It simply does not get better than that!
Today we have boated to Birmingham and are currently moored just north of the city for lunch. On arrival at the Gas Street Basin we are being met by members of the British Waterways Board and Trustees. Indeed an honour and we are all looking forward to meeting them and welcoming them aboard.
Tomorrow we reach the climax of our trip when we arrive in Bourneville. More about this tomorrow evening.
The weather today has been much improved, with sunshine and light breeze. It is great to be out of the wet weather gear. Bye for now talk to you all again tomorrow.
