The last job on the list is to get the toilet tank pumped out. We got diesel & water yesterday, just need to empty the other one now! Were not in a rush today, it’s a reasonable one, not too cold or wet and managed to get some work done to start whilst I wait […]
Well, the water tank is dry, and has been for 2 days now. The fuel tank is almost dry and were expecting Dusty the fuel boat to come though some day soon… We have also been waiting to get the car back, so were safe to move the boat – which was done this morning, […]
After a visit to The Boathouse last night (can’t come to Braunston and not go after all!) and an entertaining afternoon, evening and morning – it’s time to get moving. First things first though, time for a pump out before we head down the Oxford, as there are not many places where we can get […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well – time to move on from Banbury. We have been at Hennef Way, Banbury for a few weeks now, made use of the car park (whilst we could get to it – as Thames Water decided to close off the bridge which is the only sensible way to the car park and Tesco’s – […]
It’s been a week of work (on the boat also) and a weekend of moving. I’m merging both days into one for this one as there is not a lot.. and we ended up back where we started as we only planned for a services run. We ran out of gas several days ago.. so […]
Another good day to move the boat.. not too cold, sun’s out and no wind.. So were heading back to Banbury. Just below Cropredy lock.. the sheep guard Lama’s are out.. Now.. that’s my size of coffee cup! Did I say it was a nice day today… And just outside of Banbury.. A nice plot […]
We ran out of diesel a few days ago – the emergency bottles of fuel are in the tank and we need to do a services run to Cropredy. The hire car is being left at Spiceball car park for today near Hennef Way – were going to come back there on Sunday and plan […]
