Aqua Helen's 60th

Another birthday, another meal, another boat trip. This time we had the afternoon on board the Mill Restaurant Barge sailing (chugging) along the Shropshire Union canal towards the Bridge Inn, being wined and dined along the way and serenaded by a giant balloon who warbled "Haaa ppy Birthday" to the tune of "AAAAA llelluia" to the amusement of other passengers.




My technically wonderful son helped me make("helped me make????") (made me) some templates for a champagne bottle which was totally and utterly "OOOOOHED" and "AAAAAHHHHED" by the ladies, Helen was made up with it. (pretty good for a first attempt ??!)



We were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to the wall inside the lock...



We were allowed off the barge at the lock (for a cigarette?!?!)so fat lady balloon came too..





so we did a little impromptu routine with various legs and arms...



These ladies provided the wonderful entertainment for the afternoon...what a great laugh we had..



Happy 60th birthday Helen!
Thanks for a great fun afternoon, what a fab bunch of ladies you/we all are.
