Christmas at the Navigation

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. We were made to feel like family at the Navigation Inn in Gnosall, where we had a smashing Christmas dinner, although poor Jimmi was tricked into carving a partridge to feed 17 of us. We had raised the roof with singing and dancing at the open mic night on 23 December, had a good time with Terry and Maggie for Terry's birthday on Christmas Eve and there was more live entertainment on Boxing night. As you can see from the attached photos we had a merry time- some more merry than others. Please open the attached You tube link to see a very funny video of one of the boaters getting more than merry at one of the earlier open mic nights.Please put it on full screen and with volume.  If you want to pass it on this is a link to put in emails http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfmHMzcHeMc&feature=player_embedded.   or search You tube for Navi Audience

 

Press play for this one.

Since the last blog we have been getting into the Christmas spirit - particularly Gluhwein. We went to the lighting up ceremony  in Brewood and met with local celebrity and Britain's Got talent finalist Jean Martyn - unfortunately we didn't realise she was famous so we were not very good fans. We have watched Morris dancers who also performed a traditional Mummers play and went to the Christmas Farmers Market in Market Drayton. We caught up with family and went to see Alice in Wonderland in Chipping Norton where Keith was on keyboards. We have caught up with Ann and Roger and had some good times with friends old and new. Although cruising has slowed down, the scenery is still stunning but at the end of the day it is nice to snuggle up with the cat.  We will probably be in Gnosall for Christmas. This little town in Staffs will see the Olympic Torch on 30 May next year. If you want to see the route go to www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13395096

Have a great Christmas everyone
