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 […]
Time to go. Another search.. another “no cat found” result – so we have to leave. Were heading northwards towards the Ewewash Canal which is quite a way away. First stop today – Cropredy Marina to top off the diesel tanks, get a pump out, swap out the 6kg empty gas bottle and fill the […]
Time to go back to Cropredy after a night in Banbury. We need to head further south though to get to a turning point past the Banbury Tramline moorings.. but its not that far.. The shopping from the town centre is done – as are the parcels that need posting. Were going to pull in […]
There is still no sign of Luna. Plenty of sightings by the guys at Prescot Manor Farm.. but none by us, and even though we go there daily, call, rattle tins etc.. still nothing. There has been one bonus though.. the glass has fallen out of the fire door for the last time! Over the […]
We have been searching and waiting for our Luna to come back – Its been nearly three weeks now – but there is no sign of her. She went missing on the 9th – the night after the first storm and we have been overstaying on this 24hr mooring not wanting to move – so if […]
Were moving above the lock today – after pulling in at the marina to fill up and empty the tanks. There predicting quite a lot of rain and high winds, so we’d rather be above the lock than below it – as in the past with storms like this, its always advisable to be above […]
Were still in Cropredy.. No bus from here (or at least the one bus a week that used to run on a Thursday to Banbury, .. yea.. once a week – were not in the London zones now with one every 15 minutes!) seems not to be running anymore – so an order was put […]
