Yesterday went off on the bus to Daventry with a trolley full of stuff for the charity shop and a long list for my Tesco shopping. Tuesday is market day in Daventry and Paul had the cheek to buy himself yet another body warmer, at least this one was only £15 so now we have one for everyday and one for best and this morning he informed me he needed a new pair of trainers, hang on a minute this is so out of character I think I need to sit down.
Around 10 this morning we left the mooring went up to wind then quick visit to the sanitary station and we were on our way in brilliant sunshine (Paul in his "everyday" body warmer) at a very sedate speed to find a nice spot for a few more days as we have an appointment next Tuesday. Consulted my Nicholsons where I had marked up the nice moorings and we have ended up here by bridge 81 not too far from the prison. Will be a nice spot for the winter. I noticed a footpath that goes across the field in the direction of the prison where the bus runs to Rugby so will have to walk it to check it out. Looks as if we are going to be lucky with the weather till the weekend so hopefully the hatch doors will get their second coat and who knows the back doors may get rubbed down as well.

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.
