By now we should have had a small motorhome on the drive and Naughty-Cal should have been a distant but happy memory as we looked forward to new adventures on the roads of the UK and Europe. Best laid plans and all that, hey?
Thinking that the boat was sold we had stripped everything off of her only keeping the boating essentials just in case we came back to boating one day. Of course this has meant we have had to buy all new stuff for her again. New bedding, new cutlery, new glassware, new plates, new pots, new pans. The list has been seemingly endless. We still keep remembering little odds and sods of things that we have forgotten about that we will need.
In a way it is nice to be starting afresh. Everything is clean and tidy and after a years break from boating we are all starting afresh again. We can now start planning some trips away again. Where will we head? I don't think even we know the answer to that one yet!
It's nice to see you blogging again. We are planning a trip to Hull mid July for 4 days, and hope to get to Wells for our main holiday in September when the schools return and hopefully it is a bit quieter...unless it all goes 'tits up' again!
ReplyDeleteWe have had the week starting 4th July booked off work since the back end of last year. We have been hoping and praying we could get out on the boat. Think we are going to just have a quiet week on the Witham this time but later in the year we might have a run up the River Soar.
