An early start to the day today.. the 3G signal here is rubbish, and I have several meetings to attend in the afternoon.. so I need to get us relocated to somewhere with a good signal, that we can stay put at for a little while.. so its onto Hinckley again.. The microwave decided to […]
There’s a break in the weather, the rain has eased so were off and moving for a little while during an (extended) lunch break. I’m going to get as far as we can, with the time we have as I have things to get sorted, and these shorter daylight hours are not helping! Pulled in […]
It’s a day out for armistice day this year.. to the Battlefield line to see and travel on a working steam train. The line only runs between Shackerstone, through Market Bosworth and to Shenton, but its good to see working steam trains. They also do “poirot” days.. but no more of those are available […]
It’s a Saturday.. no work.. and plenty of piloting to do today.. we need to get to the end of the canal, turn around and come back to Shackerstone as the Battle Field Line should be running some steam trains tomorrow.. and it would be cool to see what we have running on armistice day.. […]
A quick run this morning, to move onto somewhere that has a shop within walking distance (just incase) and to get a few more miles done.. I have a little time this morning, so can spend an hour shifting the boat before I need to get logged back into work.. Fairly uneventful short run with […]
Its time to move on once more, the cars been returned and there is nothing to hold us here now. Anna did an Aldi big shop yesterday whilst we still had the car to ferry it all back to the boat.. so were all set. It’s a quick run to get some water, get rid […]
Time to move on from Nuneaton.. Quick run to the Sainsbury’s to get some supplies in for the next few days, as we plan to move onto the Ashby canal and upto Hinckley where the cars booked for the weekend and next week, and as there is not a lot on the Ashby within walking […]
48hrs are up.. time to move on.. come on “Wake up wake up we have locks to do!!!” ” Awww Dad.. Don’t wanna… sleeping…” “Oh look.. Tiggy has given birth to a kitten during the night..”.. “What.. where.. let me see…” Well.. if anything, that got them out of bed! So we have another […]
Time to move on to somewhere close to a shop so we can get some supplies in. We may need a post office soon too, but not at the moment.. much to Anna’s annoyance! Didn’t get chance to stop at Alvecote Priory yesterday unfortunately – but most can be seen from the canal.. A quick jaunt […]
The cars been returned (and a good car it was.. Hyundai i30.. awesome car.. if I ever wanted to own one again – I would consider one of those).. Its a Sunday and time to put a days travelling in, not only because I have a day to do so.. we have a fair amount […]
