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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well – a long-ish day planned for today as we need to get to Braunston – as we have a table booked at the boathouse for 4pm – so, with a little rain forcast, but a lot of wind – and oh boy was it windy! It’s time to get a move on! Firstly.. Marston […]
Time to get another day done, but not too early a start! It’s a dryer day than yesterday thankfully – but it’s a lot windier.. First off – we need to get through Cladon flight of locks. It took a little while, but no where near as long as last time when we were in […]
And what a miserable day to start the holiday cruise to the Thames on! I booked 2 weeks of for a gentle day after day run through Braunston and then down to Brentford.. and what do we have from the Met Office.. 5 days of rain – typical! Even though its a day with a […]
It’s been another week of sunshine, and the solar panels and batteries are starting to enjoy the coming summer. It’s been nice having sun on the panels all day until 6pm – being able to have the inverter on without having to keep an eye on voltages and wonder when the engine needs to go […]
It’s been a weekend of working on the boat ready for our run to the Thames. Saturday it was the turn of both fan belts, Oil, Oil Filter and the fuel filters. Celeste did a good job getting it all swapped out. Now I just need to get some more spare belts to replace the […]
