Happy 2023

New Year's Day we were the first boat of the year on Watford locks (Northamptonshire). It was a lovely quiet day to cruise with only a couple of other boats passed.



Today we went through Crick Tunnel. I’m taking lots of photos with my advent spinning in.



We had a Tesco delivery right to the boat on New Year's Eve, as our cupboards were bare after our trip to Chorley for Christmas.


We had a fantastic week staying with Heather & the grandchildren in Chorley. We were very fortunate to have a smooth train journey both ways, considering all the possible delays. I got some spinning done on Preston platform.


Nikita wanted a ukulele for Christmas, so we got her one. So her & uncle Ed were playing duets.


There were 13 of us at Heather’s from 06.00 on Christmas day. It all started in a much more civilised fashion than usual, we all had tea/coffee/juice before launching into the opening ceremony. Dinner went really smoothly & was on the table at our estimated time.


Boxing day we had a mass family stroll, which took us down a VERY muddy path!!! Such fun though, just like being on the towpath.


Saying goodbye to uncle Ed.
