Well I finally did it took myself off to see the kids and grandkids, was allowed to go for the weekend and it was lovely. I left Paul a list of jobs to do and like the good boy that he is they were all done by the time I got back. Only down side has been I picked up an ear infection and now I feel sea sick not good when you live on a boat.
I think tomorrow we are going to get away from Rugby as we are spending far too much need to be out in the countryside again away from tempation. Not too sure where we are heading for may go to Coventry will have to wait and see. Our friends rang us from Birmingham and they are well impressed and recomend Gas street basin.

About Me
- nb piston broke
- After years of working,Paul and I retired early. I worked in accounts departments and Paul spent 39 years as an Electrical Mechanical engineer in the industrial refrigeration industry. Paul also served time as a refrigeration engineer officer with P&O, to-ing and fro-ing to NZ. In 2001 we decided to move to Spain where we bought an old Spanish finca that needed total renovation. We took our 1500 Goldwing with us to Spain planning to explore the country. But because of the amount of work that needed doing to the finca we were unable to get full use of our lovely motorbike. So it was shipped back to England where it was sold. It took us 3 1/2 years to finish the house, by which time Paul was hankering after another bike so we bought a new Honda VTX 1300 cruiser which was a pleasure to use with our biker friends. In 2007 the writing was on the wall so we decided to return to the UK and bought our lovely narrowboat which was a big step for me as I had never dreamt of living on a narrowboat. Paul has had sailing boats in the past and regulary crewed on a Medway Bawley Gaffer and raced in many local events. We are continuous cruisers planning to explore as much as we can.
