Back home!

What a fantastic week! The weather was glorious most of the time and only one night did we get rain and wind. A really lovely trip down to Napton before turning and heading back home. One of the most relaxing and slow trips I have ever done. Managed to complete lots of uselful jobs during the week including a full engine service, rub-down and repainted the cratch floor and sorted out and had a tidy up in many places. Very little moving traffic so consequently we managed to find some lovely quiet and 'uninhabited' mooring spots to get jobs done and go for walks etc. Returned this morning in glorious sunshine and with no wind at all. In fact I am sitting here with both sides of the cratch rolled up, the side hatch wide open and all windos open on the boat! Spring is really on the way. The pansies on my roof are looking lovely and the miniature daffs. are pushing up through them ready to burst.

I have added three picture above from the trip. The top one, passing under the M6 at the top of nettle hill, the 2nd one passing through the lit up Newbold Tunnel and the 3rd one of the boat moored up just outside Brinklow witht he contents of the cratch on the towpath whilst the paint dries!

Ah well, back to the grind to raise money for the next trip!! Seven weeks and then I think I'm off solo for Easter towards the Shroppie, (any volunteers for a crew!?)
