A Goodbye to our Beloved Tabitha

by Keith April 13, 2022 No Comments

Our beloved Tabitha passed away at 6:15 this morning 🙁 Whilst were not currently at Hennef way, we decided not to take her to a vets, and bought a shovel instead.   Were going to put her to rest next to her fence at Hennef way, where she has spend many a day and night, camped […]

A Christmas to forget!

by Keith January 10, 2022 No Comments

Well..  Christmas of 2021 was not an enjoyable time aboard.  We have had good Christmas’ onboard, but this year is one I would rather forget, and if life had a reset and reload the save game button – I would have pressed it! Christmas day was going well until the macerator on the toilet blocked. […]

Hennef Way to Clattercote (14 day mooring)

by Keith October 7, 2021 No Comments

Were going to make a run to Rugby and stay there for a week or two – two main reasons for this..  We want to stay around the Banbury area for the winter – I don’t have the funds to pay for the full winter mooring stay until February – so we need to leave […]

Back in Banbury for a few days before the Rugby Run

by Keith October 3, 2021 No Comments

Were back at Hennef Way again after the services run to Cropredy as it’s easier to walk to Enterprise Rent-a-Car from here..  No rain today but still no GPS track – forgot to charge the phone 🙁 However; someone is happy to be back.. ” I Iz back on my fence again! ” A few […]

I az finally got my turn on the black thing with the screen that my human keeps tapping on alllll day long. Every time I jump on it to have my he tells me to get of the mouse and stop pressing keys – whatever they are. I don’t think he knows what a mouse […]

Services Run to Cropredy

by Keith October 2, 2021 No Comments

It had to rain today..   yesterday, reasonably fine..  tomorrow..  reasonably fine..  today..  it’s persisting it down!   But, we have to move today as we need diesel, a pump out, gas and water..   and we need to be back at Hennef Way on Sunday as I have a van Monday and Tuesday. As you probably guessed, […]

A quick relocate to Hennef Way

by Keith September 25, 2021 No Comments

Its a reasonable Saturday, and time to move on from the Morrisons end of Banbury to Hennef Way. There is no track for this one as it was such a short run.. and the phone was dead! First stop, the water point in Banbury, where we can top off the water tank, get rid of […]

“Your Bloody Cat”  – Yea, Tabitha did not make any friends yesterday..  the day we were supposed to be moving..  the day we ended up staying put because the little madam would not return to the boat in the morning, but stayed out until 4pm! Needless to day, last night she was not the happy […]

Kidlington (14 day mooring) to Dashwoods Lock

by Keith September 16, 2021 No Comments

It has been an interesting 12 days here.. Friends have come down and paid us a visit, which was a really good day 😉 The fair at Barton Le Clay last weekend was a success – even though National Rail did their best to make it as difficult as possible for us to get to […]

East Street Moorings (Oxford) to Roundham Lock, Kidlington (14 Day Mooring)

by Keith September 4, 2021 No Comments

Last nights “Kebopoly” (Kebab and Monopoly! 😀 ) went well even though we didn’t finish it, so it will be continued tonight (minus the kebab though!) First off..   a wander to the shops to get some high-ball glasses for Anna’s candles which are needed for the fair next weekend..   and on the way back.. stop […]

Abingdon-on-Thames to East Street Moorings (Oxford)

by Keith September 3, 2021 No Comments

After another surprising night of no bangs against a concrete wall, were aiming for the East street moorings today – the location we were stuck in for 6 weeks a few years ago – mainly as it’s Friday, and we fancy a take-away from Station Kebabs! – so let’s hope there is room for us! […]

Goring Lock Moorings to Abingdon-on-Thames

by Keith September 2, 2021 No Comments

The usual bumpy night that I expected didn’t occur due to the high concrete wall were against – so that was nice! And with one last trip to the shop to get some basics done – time to move on again. Celeste and I are taking turns at the helm again today… Plenty of people […]

Fobney Lock Moorings, Reading to Goring Lock Moorings

by Keith September 1, 2021 No Comments

Time to move off the K&A. Whilst it’s been an interesting few months on the Kennet & Avon – we really need to get moving.  It’s looking like the Letchlade run on the Thames is not going to happen this year (again!) as with it getting to September – and the weather starting to turn […]

Aldermaston Wharf water point to Fobney Lock Moorings, Reading

by Keith August 22, 2021 No Comments

It’s Sunday, early – for us! – and a quiet morning – no one waking us up today! Another boat pulled in last night to share the mooring with us, so it looks like the “locals” also still treat this as a 4hr mooring – even though the signs are not there anymore..   But, it’s […]
