A quiet winter

We've been quiet this year on the boating front.  A mixture of interesting work, the Midlands drought, Pete's volunteering as a Lock Keeper and Elizabeth's art exhibitions have meant the we've not put the miles in this year.  And yet, we so love this life!  As the fifth Christmas aboard beckons, we just wanted to mention that life is good and this life is fabulous.  Pete is meeting with the Canal and River Trust Trustees today as Elizabeth sits aboard and redesigns Bella's blog. The ice has melted this morning and the weather looks to be warmer than last year when by this time, we were frozen solidly in place.  We are still not level, the rain of the last few days being nothing near to what is needed to fill the reservoirs. Yet the Christmas decorations cheer us and we look forward to a wonderful 2012.
