When we were moored in Thrupp on the 11th of July and helped Kate car hopping to Banbury, we stopped and bought a BBQ in Banbury. We had internet shopped the choices and realised that this stainless steel barrel shaped was best for us, being able to be used as an oven in a small space, let alone being able to store easily in the bows.It is now the morning of the 18th of August - nearly 5 weeks later. We finally had the kind of weather last night when we could use it!!! So here is Barbie, in all her glory, baking potatoes first, then cooking great sausages and veg kebabs. Yum.
We're still in between the Aqueducts in Weedon, having much work to do in the days. We had planned to set aside August as a non GKG month and a Bella Maintenance month, but two excellent contracts came mostly Pete's way and we could not turn them down. So Elizabeth is working lightly, doing a bit of project management here and there, and Pete is working most days including the odd train journey (Cambridge, Bristol, soon Sheffield...). Maintenance will have to wait though Elizabeth is doing a bit. And Pete wants to deal with the rust on the roof. Really.
