Last night was a bit on the blustery side with plenty of rain too so at least the roof had a wash down. Paul has had an Eureka moment when he suddenly fathomned out how he would mount the solar panel on the boat will be intersting to see if his idea works. So he doesnt forget he has had to do himself a drawing senior moment or what!!!! Of course the panel may not turn up tomorrow he will be really dissapointed if it doesnt. From my vantage point on the boat it looks lovely outside clear blue sky bit of a breeze, but when I took the dogs out it was absolutely freezing the wind has a real bite lets hope it doesnt snow.
There hasnt been much traffic here as Copper Mill Lock is shut until the 30th and then Denham is shut from 9th till 27th so our plan is to leave here around the 5th to make our way up towards Braunston. At the moment we are waiting for a letter from the doctor for Paul just hope it turns up before the 5th dont fancy staying here any longer than is necessary. Just want to be back on the Oxford again.

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.
