No Charlies deep - oh no!

Those of you that have been following my blog for a while will know all about 'the Charlie' as a way of measuring depth. Also those of you that have been on the website, www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk, and have seen Charlie will know that he isn't very tall. So one Charlie isn't very deep. Well, this morning we decided to go out in our canoe (to take our minds off the tennis). We were happily going down the stream when we heard an awful scraping noise. Oh no Charlie shouted the water is no Charlie's deep! We've run aground. He was right the scraping noise was the bottom of the canoe. At first we didn't know what to do and then I decided that we should both get out of the canoe and lift it further along the stream to where the water was deeper, which worked brilliantly - well done me! We had a lovely time for the rest of the morning, but I did have to tell naughty Charlie to keep a very close eye on the number of Charlie's the water was, to make sure we didn't run aground again. Don't forget for those of you that haven't read about ouradventures you can order them from http://www.haroldtheplatypus.co.uk/Haroldtheplatypus_%28new%29/Books.html Laters H X
