Back on the water......ahhhhhh and back in the room.
It feels lovely, just fits and feels right. Back in my wee o cabin and marching down the tow paths in my new funky boots. Which are looking after gammy ankle very well I must say.
We left Newbury on Sunday morning and made our way down the K&A to Hungerford where we moored up for the night and headed off in the morning and had a very VERY wet day locking our way to Crofton. We moored overnight at Crofton top lock last night after 10 miles of walking and 20 locks. I was wet through to my panties, but due to my marvellous new boots and jacket just from my ankles to my pants were wet! Awoke to a glorious shine in the sky this morning and a busy cleaning day on board, as after a mere 4 locks it was just trundling through a slow 15 mile pound.
We are in Devizes tonight and ready to tackle the Caen Hill flight tomorrow.
We will be stopping in Seend tomorrow night and then onto Bradford on Avon on Thursday. We will be there for a few days and picking up our first passengers of the season on Saturday. Need to remember how to cook for a gaggle of people, bit rusty!
Wildlife spot: Water vole, ran onto the tow path right in front of me. I thanked her and named her Valerie.
Wildlife un-highlight: 2 dead baby birds taken from their nest in shells.
Injury Count: 1. Got wedged inbetween the moving boat and the bank, crushed into the wooden edge, only half managed to get up onto the bank to escape, one leg left behind. Ouchie graze and bruise. Close call.
Giggle: Talk of 4D 'Adult' movies!
Smile moment: Lovely couple out for an Easter walk, sitting on a bench in the pouring rain eating their sandwiches under their hoods and walking off hand in hand.
Night night from me.
