A quick post office run needed to that poxy Co-Op in Newbold before we move on which I swore I would never goto again – which this time were open when taking in a delivery, (you may remember last time they closed the store at 16:30 (according to those waiting) to unload it and stock […]
OK – so we have been here for an extra 2 weeks since CRT re-instated the 14 days.. and those 14 days run out tomorrow – so were moving on. We need to firstly turn around – so its back down to the locks to the winding hole.. winding.. Yea.. wind is right! It’s not […]
Some back-dated updates for this one! Whilst we had the car, and were forced to keep the car over the weekend as I was unaware that Enterprise no longer open on Saturdays during this time.. so we could not return it on the Sat as planned, so we did the usual “collect the post” run […]
The word it out.. We can now go out.. just not out-out!. CRT have responded to the announcement on Sunday and have extended the movement dispensation another 2 weeks.. So we need to stay put! So, were going to be in the Rugby area for a little while longer yet. Probably not a bad thing.. […]
Its a little windy today – but the sun is out, so should be a nice day for a services run. It’s going to be a full day’s travelling as I don’t intend to turn at Clifton’s like last time.. down to the locks, turn there, come back, pick up Trevor (who also needs a […]
Time for a services run – the toilet tank needs emptying, we need a new gas bottle, and we may as well fill the diesel and water tank whilst were at it. It’s a little bit blustery, but no rain and its sunny – so hopefully this wont take too long! First.. we need to […]
The Easter long weekend has come and gone.. and yes.. there were people out and about during the weekend, not as many as I expected – but they were there. And the news is in.. it’s another three weeks of lock-down to go. Ah well.. Its been a lovely week so far, the sun has […]
Time to move the boat to the other side of the canal to top up the water tank. It’s an absolutely glorious day.. the fire is also in lock-down until the winter 🙂 and there are a few more people moving around that should not be! Yes – daily exercise is allowed.. but.. driving to […]
A short run from Newbold on Avon to Tesco today – nothing exciting.. Stopped at the water point to fill the tank whilst the washer was running.. once that was done – move to the other side and moor up whilst everyone else runs off to Tesco’s We may be here for a few days […]
It’s a quick out and back again – as were not leaving here soon, its a good spot, nice and quiet, cats are happy (even if there getting a little bored!) and with the UK on lockdown, and CRT removing the requirement to move every 14 days – it’s possibly safer to stay here than […]
With many many thanks to the bunch of cock-wombles who went out on a sunny Saturday against government advice – the UK is now on three weeks lock down – which could be extended. I hope you enjoyed your last day of freedom out in the sun, as it will be the last for a […]
A short run today of less than an hour. We want to move on from here – as Shamus was getting stressed with the other local cats, and making a nuisance of himself is not a good idea in these times – the last thing we want is some uneducated moron attacking him because “There’s […]
Time to move on from the Boathouse. The now very tidy roof is covered with as much wood as we can safely load onto it and were ready to go. Last night – to our shock – The Boathouse was packed! We were in there earlier on that day – and there was 3 families […]
Were still in Braunston – outside the Boathouse and Glen (landlord) is rightly worried – as are most other publicans – about what to do if the government shuts them down this coming Friday – or even if they DONT! Being a Marstons brewery pub – they are of course stating that they must stay […]
Its going to be a long one today – and the weather doesn’t look too exciting – grey, windy with some expected showers. According to the maps.. its an expected 7.5 hours today. Were hoping to get to Braunston, moor up in the only spot we know that has a signal, and stay there over […]
