So, you start out for a gentle Saturday afternoon run, and it rains all the way.  Typical, but I don’t think today’s attendance had anything to do with it !  I cannot decide whether Charlie is telling us that there were 13 persons out with the club that day – or because there were 13 out that day that it rained so.  Readers may be interested to know that the Warburton High Level Bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal, is a toll bridge still in use to this day, probably because the toll charges are very modest.

And again, we see what a piano can do to raise the enjoyment levels of a day out – what a change from today’s electronic entertainment.
