Welford....... Staying Put.



Spit and polish with the odd Goose.





Today was a good day for clearing the winter away from Ubique. The polishing machine was out alongside the Brasso and a nice shiny boat has been revealed. Well...... one side at least.




Here are a few more pictures of our trip up the Watford staircase.

D has just stopped the man in the lock above from trying to be helpful and refilling the one she is just emptying. It was his first time in a staircase and he was not quite up to speed......bless.



Towering locks here,





worked under towering Sky's.

Squeezing Ubique ever upwards.



Someone couldn't care less though.
She is a lot more settled here aboard than back at the house for some reason. She has even brought us a Mouse today, we didn't really want a mouse but we got one all the same.



Are you ready?














Aaaaaaa, a proud old mum showing off her brood.





This sort of thing always brings a smile.
A big old masculine bridge carrying the high speed rail link over the canal at Watford Gap, and what do they do to it?........ Paint it pink!




Ready again?














Canada Geese this time, sitting on the towpath as we walked along.
Little bundles of fur on legs that they are.







Safely away.









Until next time............................................
