A weekend of relaxing and saying sod it to working on the boat. So under stormy skies we set of on Saturday morning and headed in the general direction of Torksey Lock. The Fossdyke looks so different under differing light conditions and provides some excellent opportunities for some stunning photographs.
We arrived in Torksey by early afternoon and settled in with a few beers and watched the weather unfold whilst reading a good book and listening to some of our favourite music. A proper lazy day with no plans for any work or cleaning. We even had the most lazy of dinners. Hot Dogs with loads of onions and tomato ketchup. Something we have not eaten for a long time.
Sunday dawned bright and sunny a real change from the day before, even the wind had dropped. So we filled up with water then head of to Saxilby to buy some provisions for Sunday breakfast. We had some great dry cured bacon and organic free range eggs so all we needed was some black pudding and mushrooms to finish off the dish. As luck would have it the butchery in the Co-op at Saxilby opens on a Sunday so we could buy some of their fantastic black pudding. So we ate a meal fit for a king, before heading back to the marina just in time for the weather to worsen. We made the most of a lazy afternoon with a game of Monopoly and a few beers before cooking up a great sausage casserole with garlic bread.
A great weekend afloat, and hopefully the first of many happy weekends away. One point worth noting is that the new lesiure batteries performed great. We had the heating on for a long time of both Saturday and Sunday and the Volt and Amp meter held steady readings so it looks like we have solved our power issues of last year. Great Joy.
