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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We decided to stay here for a bit longer, until the end of the week.. Its a nice location.. Dan and Vikki who run Langley Mill Boatyard are very friendly and more than happy to help where they can. There are a few boats that come and go, but not a lot of traffic, considering […]
As a bit of a change, I thought I would add some history to an extra entry for today – as were passing through the tunnel and past Husbands Bosworth.. and yes.. whilst this is well before the canal existed.. where would we be without our history to look back and learn from! On […]
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 […]
We have been in Fazeley/Tamworth for several weeks now, moored between some nice residential houses and a primary school.. But all good things must come to an end.. so we need to move on. Not far though.. water point, back to the marina for a pump out and a bag of coal.. and onto the […]
No photos, entries or track for today.. We lost our dear Teddy today – wasn’t very well last night, and was taken to the vets today after we arrived near Bradford on Avon. The result that it would have been cruel to try to keep him alive – so he’s off to the big dog […]
Well.. I’ve been putting off updating here, just in case the worst was to be realised.. but – in the end.. were all good and accounted for. We were supposed to be moving today.. but that’s not going to happen for a while. It seems that Tiggy has decided to disappear off somewhere.. Day 1 […]
So – a interesting afternoon – of sorts.. I’m on holiday this week so we can focus on the Thames.. Anna arrived back from her Bank Holiday away.. we got the cats aboard, and all the dogs.. were starting to think about moving on and got called out of the boat by Dawson at […]
After over 3 weeks of trying to get a 100mm diameter hole in 10mm thick steel for the warm air exhaust – the fuel cell finally went online last week!. Not a bad bit of kit – still need the engine when the washing machine is on as the fuel cell only delivers 9amps @ […]
It’s said that when you live on a canal.. every day can provide you with a new sight or sound.. well last Sunday.. it was a canoe race.. and we were moored on the start line.. But – as is the way with racing.. things do not always go to plan..
