Absolutely perfick

We both woke up to sunshine so decided to move the boat on Wednesday together.  So 8 locks, 3 with the help of a lovely volunteer lockkeeper at Fradley Junction, 4 or 5 miles and the Alrewas river section on Amber, we boated in glorious technicolour.

We also managed to get into the Marina 2 days early so that is officially it for this year.

What a lovely finish to my 2013 journey around the Northern system.

See you all in 2014.

Wanted

A friend of mine would like to buy a narrowboat of between 50 to 60 feet, spacious and airy in feeling (I know reality doesn't allow it to be actually spacious and airy!) not Rosie and Jimified.  Price around £30,000 anyone know of one?  Must have solid fuel stove.

Views and effects

We had fun with effects.

Family

On Thursday my Uncle and Aunt from South Africa were over and desperate to have a go on my 'yacht'.

The weather held off until the last hour then it siled it down.  I think they still enjoyed themselves.

I have today redone most of the route we took - this time in the sunshine.  I am a lucky girl!
