Whilton Marina To Norton Junction. 7 Locks.

Out with the flags, pop the corks and turn up the music........We are back on board.

Another van full of stuff somehow squeezed, liquidised and then packed into our long suffering good friends car, then we were off.

A scant few hours later Neil and Sharon had us back at Ubique. As soon as the luggage was aboard the engine was checked and started, all systems were brought back on line, and the ropes were off. The Marina was soon left far behind in our wake.

Next stop.............who cares? Anywhere will do on the canals.





Neil is definitely a natural at this, steering into an occupied double lock and not touching the sides or the other boat is not to be sniffed at.






A month away and everything is so green now. A far cry from when we left.





Not too friendly looking here, the fuse wasn't smoking though so it seemed safe to pass.






Theres always time for a beer in the cratch on a sunny day.


Thanks once again you two, see you soon.

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

Brick House, Day 27.

If you would like someone to strangle the moron at the end of this line.............
.......Please press six.




Back to the boat tomorrow, what a rollercoaster ride that was.

The house is now straight again, new tenants found and ready to move in. All that was left to do was cancel the Direct Debits and change the bills into the new name.

The day started well enough with a quick trip to the bank. The highly fragranced ball of face powder that was the teller, set her nail extensions to good use on the keyboard and ten minutes later all was cancelled and the world was a happy place.

It was all downhill from there on though.

The Gas, Electricity and Water companies....... no problem.
Council tax and TV Licence........Bit of a pain, but resolved after they held a hoop up for us and we repeatedly jumped through it until they were happy.

Then it came to cancelling our home Broadband package, 2 HOURS of mind numbing explanations to no less than SIX different..... "people"?? telling them over and over again, no we don't want to switch our account, no, we are not moving abroad, we are moving aboard our boat, no we don't want another package, no its not another house its a boat, and so it went on and on and on.


Back to sanity tomorrow.

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