After oversleeping, and letting the rain go away, we set off for the Hatton Flight. It took a few hours to get up all the 21 locks, with Dawson doing most of the locks, and Celetse going one lock ahead to get it ready for us. There are some large insects around here 🙂 After […]
There was a plan to go up through the 21 locks of Hatton Flight today.. however: A really slow and leaky tap at the water point (reported to CRT), and rain (forecast as a sunny day) has put a stop to that.. so we will do these tomorrow and then stop at Kingswood Junction for […]
We moved slightly from the overnight moorings next to Tesco in Royal Leamington Spa.. to find a spot slightly outside the main town. When we got here, it took a good 10 minutes to hammer in the spikes – with the sledge hammer – the ground was that hard!.. which I am grateful for – […]
Hi Folks, Sorry for the substantial gap in posts, other demands have taken over in recent weeks that have forced me to put updating the site on the “back burner”..  needless to say, I will try to update the backlog, and get some new entries in here.. Watch this space..
As Tiggy came back at 4am this morning – were good to go! Stopped at the water point to fill the water tank, as were running low after staying put for several days.. and we have also had to break out the emergency porta-loo as the toilet tank is full and were a few days […]
During the darker Tiggy days, we decided to have a look around the Crofton Pumping Station – not only for Tiggy, but to have a look at it 🙂 Unfortunately, it was a non steaming day.. but still..  https://www.croftonbeamengines.org/ 
Well..  I’ve been putting off updating here, just in case the worst was to be realised.. but – in the end.. were all good and accounted for. We were supposed to be moving today.. but that’s not going to happen for a while. It seems that Tiggy has decided to disappear off somewhere.. Day 1 […]
So I woke up and I realised why should I get up now, so I just lay there on my phone, then sat up and was just flicking through Facebook, when I suddenly had Keith standing next to our bunk looking down at me saying “just so you know you’re going to be driving today” and […]
We left Hungerford soon after “Meandering Mo” had already left, and “Judy” had pulled back into the space vacated by Mo.. Before we left.. we had to go and find Tiggy – as she is in season again – and tarting about with any other cat she can find.. eventually we rounded her up and […]
We set off from the mooring yesterday after wiggling the boat around to break free of the shallow water (getting used to having to do this, and hop-on and off the gap to get the lines done! – my “Mario” jump as CC puts it! ) – leaving the massacre of mice, rodents and birds […]
