We did catch our Connect bus to Daventry and quite an experience it was too. Not being up to speed with which roads go where other than the Stagecoach bus routes we were a bit perturbed when the little bus headed off towards Northampton. There was one lady on the bus when we got on and on our jaunt out into the country we stopped outside a nice little house and the next passenger got on, the bus driver then offered us all a sweet and it was onto the next pick up which was heaven only knows where. The driver then asked us passengers which way we would like to go certainly a novel idea. We got to Daventry (eventually) the journey had taken 40 minutes. As we had arranged to meet Ann and Keith we asked the driver if we could return an hour later than we had booked this was sorted and we had a extra hour to get shopping and have breakfast in Weatherspoons. The return journey took 15 minutes but I shall make sure we use this service again as it is so convenient.
Yesterday we had a jaunt to Rugby the bus was late and for the whole journey the driver had a problem in as much as the horn was constantly honking it was so loud you couldn't have a conversation, the driver took it upon himself to deviate from his normal route and didn't stop at any further bus stops until we got into town.
The covers are done took a lot of measuring and checking of sizes ( you know the old adage measure twice cut once well the material was measured into an inch of its life). I got into the swing of using the machine again although there was a bit of a hic-up when the tension went up the swanee but all three are done and one is in place.
Paul has to put more fixing on but he ran out of pot rivets hence the trip to Rugby.
We are quite proud of our selves only problem Paul has is fixing the other two as they are water side and with this ice and cold at the moment I think they may have to wait a couple of days before they are put in place as long as they keep the draught out I will be happy.
A few boats here in the marina have Christmas light adorning them one of the nicest is nb Ellen so Paul being Paul made sure we bought lights while in Rugby so we can have a display as well
I think next week will see the starting of the bathroom tiling if Paul can motivate himself………….
Last night saw us in the Red Lion with Angela John and Rodney a very nice evening ensued and the food as usual was lovely. The walk back to the marina was very brisk as it was freezing………
