Our 48 hours here are complete, and even though Mr. Met Office said it would be raining today, it’s quite a nice day – so were using today to get back to Fobney – and in case the predictions come true, we have until Saturday to let the rain pass and the river flows to […]
Were not going back on the Thames just yet as it’s water run time and we want to stay here-ish for a little while yet. Were not totally out of water, but we will be soon – its been 8 days since the water tank had some, so we need to move to fill the […]
Time to move on from Henley. We have plans to get a hire car for this weekend, and want to stay put for a week – so it’s time to turn off the Thames and moor up at the start of the Kennet and Avon canal, just outside of Reading. We have been there before, […]
OK. It’s 4:30am.. yea, IN THE MORNING! And it’s time to get a move on. The cat’s are not happy – they were not let out last night, as cat wrangling at stupid-o-clock is not happenening.. so they were all kept locked in last night. Celeste and Dawson are also up to help and get […]
It’s time to move on from Old Windsor with a hope to get to Marlow and moor up. Hopefully it will be easy going – but there is rain scheduled soon, so the flow is going to get heavier and the engine is starting to complain about running for hours on end at a constant […]
The rain has gone, the boards are still green (at the moment!) and it’s time to get some miles done. It’s Saturday, no need to worry about checking in with work today! The usual stop for water at Molesey Lock is done, and it’s back past Ash and Tagg’s Island.. which reminds me.. If […]
There have been a few “one day” car hire’s from Kingston Enterprise, a drive to a marina to get a gas 13kg gas bottle (as whilst there is a fuel boat – they don’t stock gas!) so we had to run to Bray Marina to get one!, an upgraded phone for CC – and our […]
Time to move on back to Kingston again – the hire car has gone back (only a 1 day rental) and our 2 days here are at an end.. or should be. Tabitha is being a sod again – refusing to come back, hiding under the nettle bushes.. 3 hours later, we finally got her […]
Time to say our goodbye to Hampton court one more time – we will be back again… were not finished in Kingston just yet 🙂 Once up the lock.. it’s time to fill the water tank.. ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER! We can finally move on again.. And yes.. were using a shorter hose.. […]
Time to move on from Kingston – were heading to Walton, but don’t want to get there today! Tonight.. were in Hampton court again and it’s time to get the ladder out as its a HOT one today! And look who else joined us in the river.. I new getting that ladder from storage was […]
Were moving onto Kingston again today, first off – water run – and.. It’s raining It’s wet It’s cold I’m damp And there are no photo’s or a GPS track. Were here until next week.. hopefully, It will be nice until then!
Whilst Tabitha does like posing for photo’s on the roof of the boat, I think if Anna hears “Ah look.. cat’s on a boat, do they not run off?” one more time, the reply may turn from “Of Course, Why not have cats on a boat! It’s the life for them too!” to “Yea, there […]
Well, that didn’t quite work to plan! Plus, no photo’s.. but believe me, it’s a hot one today! We have had a few good days here – the bank holiday was entertaining to say the least, what with boats jostling for a bit of river space to go through Kingston, sail boats, paddle boats, rowers, […]
The flow of the river is starting to drop, and we have had 2 nice quiet nights here – but it’s time to move back to Kingston and hope there is a spot we can pull into. And talking of nice nights.. last nights prediction of today’s weather seems to be correct.. “Red Sky at […]
Time to do a quick shuffle from Teddington. We have been here 2 days, yesterday so that I can get caught up on work as I’ve been out of it for 2 weeks, and there will be things to catch up on. Still ended up not being able to get hold of a lock keeper […]
