Ruby Ruby Ruby Rubyyyy

Had the yummiest curry for dins, super scrumptious.  Been craving it for so long, it hit the spot big time.
Had a lovely evening and looking forward to day 2 of week off tomorrow!

Had a fab night last night at the Strickland Arms in Witney, watching the Dirty Earth band, who were great, had good pub grub and a good boogie!  Great fun.  Bath no. 1 of the week was also much enjoyable, hot water, lying down, glass of wine.  Bargain.

Flat Bottomed Boats you make our Rocking World Go Round......

One Sunny day a flat bottomed boat came into my life
My rocking world went round
Canals and rivers all around
but not as far as Fife

Confusion followed whereever I was
But where was I
back to front and inside out was I
but not once in the drink was I

7 adventurous and fun weeks went past
and the time came to have a rest
so off I go to be a guest
travelling on a chu chu, oh so fast.

End of Term!

So, first term done, 7 weeks of work, fun, sun, burning, cakes and locks and now I have a whole week off!  Yippeedoodaah!

I am very excited. I have my whole week planned, 3 lots of staying with great friends, laced with hugs, a bath and lots of sleep!

I bet I will miss it and be desperate to get back on the water but boy I am looking forward to having some time to be!  I am also supe hug deprived so watch out my special girlies, I'm a coming and will be demanding hugs at every opportunity!

We are moored up in Godalming right outside Sainsbugs, very handy for when we return!
We were moored at Dapdune wharf last night, in Guildford.  I didn't have a chance to look around, had a long kitchen day, one of those that doesn't let up and really doesn't go according to plan.  I did make the most delicious brownies though with mayonaise!  I know!  But it works!!  Luckily it made a gazillion as they are delicious and shall be scoffing them at Kat's cake picnic tomorrow after work!!  However my Lemon Mousse did not succeed so, the bloomin Soya cream didn't whip and I blame Mr Alpro entirely.  However it seems that it could have been me, adding the lemon juice too early!!  Whoopsles!

I have packed my bag, with a nice big gap in it so I can bring back things, I have a list of things to get from the house, jumpers and weighing scales!

I shall keep you posted of my week off shenanigans, but there be less shenanigans and more sitting down!

Take Care

Send Pend Lend Tend Fend Vend Bend Wend Mend

What a beautiful day, hey hey, what a beautiful day, something seems impossible lalalaltraaaalalala.

A gorgeous day for locking today and so pleased to be properly locking again, non of this automated business!
A little journey today from Pyrford to Send where we are moored at the moment, outside the New Inn. Small but beautiful!  We saw a reuin near Newark and some stunning countryside, the Wey is gorgeous.
The Papercourt lock, so very prety, quite fancy being a length's person now!

I have just been told that I promised our guests that I would have a drink with them!  I do not remember this, I am sure they are making it up!  I sent the boss over to talk to me as I am already in the pub!  I have to be back at work in half an hour too!  They are seriously making up stories!  Crazy but lovely ladies.  THey shall be tottering over soon so should go.  Oh but classic the other night, listening to them at dinner "did you know, that women at now allowed into pubs" !!!  Brilliant.

We head off in the morning toward Dapdune Wharf, we shall moor there for the night and then head to Godalming on Friday.

(Have you noticed I am now saying Moored not parked, I am right into the lingo, innit!)

Weyward, Show me the wey, All the wey, Waterwey!

We joined the Wey today Hooray!

I have felt jolly holly all day and loving gloving being back on a canal.
Well, it is the River Wey but they made part of it a canal or something, confusing for my wee brain cell!
It is beautiful, been shiney all day and just feels so lovely, friendly and I love being so close to the edge again!  Whwen I look out the kitchen window I can see stuff again!  On the Thames everything is too far away!
I really thought I would love the Thames and whilst it was great seeing places I know and love, it was such a different feeling and feel far more comfy and content now I am back on a canal!  Funny huh!

We are moored up in Pyrford, right outside the Anchor pub!  Even better, the bosses wife has come to visit and is helping with service tonight, so I can go for a pint later, woohooodoooodeeedooo!

Righty ho bo, I need to get back to work and cook these lovely ladies some dinner!

I have said lovely a lot in this post, hey ho, its a lovely word!

Heneery the 8th I am, Henery the 8th I am lalala

We are moored at Hampton Court Palace!  How very posh!
Had a wander round the rose garden, cafe and coffee shop, who needs more culture than that!

Lovely spot, Molsley in front of us and the palace to our right, big shiney gold gates outside our windows!!
Feels quite different, much more lively, looking forward to proper London in a couple of week!

Super Winder Miller here today, we are bobbling around all over le shope.  Steering was interesting today as was locking, I think we have weight on our side though.  A guy in a plastic white boat started talking to me earlier and said he spun in a lock today!  So he was giving up and going home!

We leave Hampton Court in the morning and head back toward Weybridge, grab onto the River Wey and go to Pyrford.  Looking forward to having an early finish so Kat and I can gor for pintage!

Gonna try for the millionth time to upload my piccies.
Over and out
