Not much happened, thankfully, as we didn't travel much in this last set of months. What with the drought, then the floods, and our boat works, we've been in our home mooring since last October (!) A bit of a shock for us, but it meant that Elizabeth had much more time in her studio. Finished works abound So, a bullet point summary:
- We have a new generator called the BFG which will allow us to be fully independent of shore electricity. It means that we can go anywhere and not have to look for laundrettes or marinas with visitor moorings. This is stupendous news. Here is Simon doing the final connecting:
- Pete was a Volunteer Lock Keeper and is now... a Canal and River Trust Employee! Here he is:
So now we'll travel around the network of his work. Not a small area, he'll be managing water in reservoirs, rivers and canals in the northern Grand Union section, covering the area from Stoke Bruerne to Braunston on the Grand Union Main line and from Norton Junction to Kilby Bridge on the Grand Union Leicester Arm.
We've been around the whole of the area in the past and we do look forward to longer visits!
- We wrote about Jules Fuels keeping us warm in the winter and here is Towcester, her boat, and Richard, her Man, pulling alongside to deliver.
So that's it! We've been keeping our home mooring occupied, having different bits of electricity and engineering done, working hard and trying very hard not to be impatient about not travelling.
A whole year in one post!
