We are getting to be dab hands at this travelling lark and we are finding our way around London well now.
Met Jess at Victoria yesterday then we walked to Leicester Square where we met Emily who was in London with her other nan on the way to see The Jersey Boys. We had a good day and even though it was the last weekend before Christmas it wasnt very busy, had lunch out then around 3 made our respective ways home, Jess to Victoria us to Paddington.
This morning we sat down with the stoppages list and have realised there is no way we can get back up to Braunston in one hit unless we leave Uxbridge on Boxing day, as we have friends coming up between Christmas and New Year it looks like we will be spending from now until March in this area with maybe a trip up the Lee and the Stort. Then we will have a clear run up without worrying that we are going to get stuck somewhere. Is there any rush I dont think so, must admit I would like to get through both tunnels before it gets to busy as I do not like going through them just have a phobia I suppose.

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.
