Cinque Terre Italy - Part 2!

From the ER II's Owners - email dated November 8/10

We are recently back from our second visit to the beautiful Cinque Terre
in Italy - we were there at the same time last year so we went back to
the lovely Vernazza again, and had days of really great hiking - we've
pretty much done all the trails now except for one sanctuary at the top
end of the Cinque Terre region. May have to go back to complete it one
day...

David's photos, as usual, are spectacular -

Had a lovely season out on the canals, selling cheese and chutneys and
talking to lots and lots of interesting people. Our cruising season
starts at the end of March next year, so we will take these next couple
of months to complete all the (dozens of) small jobs we never got around
to on the boat before we headed out last March!

As well, we have some Christmas events to attend, although we will be
doing most of them in halls or pubs - definitely not the time of year we
want to be moving around the canals on our boat! We are cozy and warm
in a nice, new marina in beautiful Cheshire - 1/2 hour to the west is
Wales, 1/2 hour to the east is the Peak District. There will be lots of
hiking and exploring over this coming winter!

Hope everyone is keeping healthy and happy.

Cheers,
Helen & David

Autumn comes calling on the ER II

Early Morning Fog On The Water

David has uploaded some more great shots as the ER II sails into the Changing Season on the canals.
Kindly click on the above photo for the slideshow link.

Also here is an Update as to where and what they are doing currently.

We will be selling our cheeses and chutneys from a stall at the Whitchurch Farmers' Market this coming Saturday, Nov. 6th. Come see us and enjoy a traditional Farmers' Market!

We are wintering at OverWater Marina near Audlem (CW5 8AY) and plan to sell our yummy cheeses and chutneys in the weeks leading up to Christmas. So many of you have asked us about obtaining our products to give as Xmas gifts that we will be arranging to meet in central places (like Ellesmere by the end of the arm, and Audlem near the Shroppie Fly and Audlem Mill) on the first and second weekends in December to drop off your purchases. Please check this page closer to the middle of November for information re: ordering and definite drop-off dates and times.

If you live in the Audlem/Nantwich area and would like to drop by the marina to purchase cheese or chutneys, please ring us on 07876 032698 for details, or for further information.
