Day one of 2008. Happy New Year to all our blog readers!!
As suspected, we are still moored, with hardly a move. Just right for the cold and frozen canal. However, we did move to the other side of the marina yesterday to fill up with diesel. The toasty central heating is a bit hit and miss at the moment, and we realised it was a little low on fuel! Not quite back up to scratch with the re-fuel, but we're getting there. It was a lovely jaunt through the marina, nonetheless, whetting our apetite to move ... very frustrating waiting out the winter!
Hopefully like us, you had a wonderful Christmas. Sadly, Bella was on her own as Pete, Elizabeth and Josie went first to James' for Christmas day, on to Andrew and Sarah (one of Pete's brothers and sister-in-law) for Boxing Day and to our friend Clare (missing Mike on board ship) for the 27th. Home to Bella for the 28th, we rapidly fell into cold and flu. But what better place to be cosy and get better?
New Years Eve found us breaking open the bottle of bubbly while standing on Bella's stern to take in all of Rugby's midnight fireworks. Wonderful!!
Pictures will follow.
