This morning we caught the bus to West Drayton and then the train to Paddington where we met up with Jamie and Rose. Rose had just come up from Cornwall to spend Christmas with Jamie. Was nice to catch up with them both again, Jamie may be nearly 40 but he is still my little boy!!!!!!! Had lunch together in a nice pub. Tomorrow have to do it all again but this time go to Victoria to see Jess.
As soon as we got back to the boat Paul was on that darn Playstation again with the language getting progressively worse as the time went on (nothing changes).
Yesterday afternoon took the dogs out for a nice long walk did them and us the power of good dont know who the most tired the dogs or us. We popped to the Malt Shovel for a meal last night mine was lovely, Paul's, well I wont go there as I'm sure you can anticipate what I am going to say. He always chooses the wrong thing need I say more.
Sometime over the weekend must consult the stoppages list so we can plan our journey back to Braunston hopefully we can get back up there by March. Then we can book the boat in to be blacked.
This time next week the festivities will nearly be over. One thing about living on the boat I havent gone overboard (excuse the pun) on food shopping this year no need, no visitors. Ahhhhhhh.

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.
