We have a fairly comfortable
night, are up early, have a nice breakfast and are off on our 2nd day of
boating. Thank goodness it is not
raining. It is cloudy and cold, but blue
skies peeping through. The weather
forecast for this week is not promising.
Lots of rain predicted!
I am sitting at our table in our lounge, looking
out at the back of the boat, watching Paul steering the boat. He looks so damn natural at this, so happy
and content, it frightens the hell out of me!!!
Our day along the canals has been so chilled and
relaxing. Freezing out on the back of the boat so some of the time I am able to
sit with Paul but then I come inside to warm up. Some parts of the canals are really narrow,
with overhanging trees coming up from either side of the canal. Other times, the canal is fairly wide with
some houses on either side. Sometimes we
pass a boat going in the other direction and have to slow down to pass them.
We have come across families of swans and ducks and once
I have seen squirrels running over a stone bridge we are going under.
Generally very quiet and relaxing. The skies seem to have cleared thank
goodness. It is cold.
We are trying to get to Crick to moor for the night and
hope to be there by 4pm.
I have been reading "Behind Palace Doors -my service
as the Queen Mother's Equerry" which seems to be perfect reading for
today's activities.
We have just moored and walked into the village for dinner at
the Wheatsheaf Pub.

| See this house was for sale? We bought it... Lauren and Taryn.. send the house contents and kitties... we are not coming back! -- PLEASE NOTE!! Relatives and friends by appointment only!! |
Paul had a butchers
sausage and mash, with red cabbage and I had a veggie lasagne with side
salad. Of course I had a lager and blackcurrant to drink and Paul had a local ale.
Could get used to this alcohol!
It was freezing walking into town and we looked like two
abominable snowmen. People were even
looking at us. We were freezing and we
have not even arrived in Scotland!
We are going to watch a movie on the DVD player
tonight. Last night we went to sleep too
early and did not sleep well.

Well that's all for today. Sleep tight family and
friends.
Love and miss you all.
