((Confess Peachy… go on…)) Erm I haven’t written anything for this day and cannot remember what happened… hold on whilst I look at my photos ((It’s a good job people only follow your blog for my witty retorts and not what you have to say or share!)) Well that didn’t help as a I only have a video of the swan! Oh yeah, I’ve remembered something…
As it’s Sunday and a day of rest, although living on a boat there is generally no such thing. ((My heart bleeds for you. Poor you!)) We had a bit of a lazy morning before a walk into Langley Mill to have a nosey around. I believe these used to be old mining villages so they have gone through many stages of prosperity in their time as work has come and gone along with the money to develop and maintain but I would say it has a great feel about it and money has been invested again as there are lots of amenities and the people are so friendly.
Across from the boatyard is a Lidl, KFC and B&Q if you turn left and then right into town there are some lovely pubs and shops as well a McDonalds and an Asda. It really does have everything you need. So, we have a mooch about and get some supplies in for a Sunday dinner and back to the boat it is.
The mornings are starting to have that autumnal feel so it’s only right we start the prep for the winter. It makes us feel like proper boaters that we are getting ready for our first winter ‘on the cut’ as they call it. We have one winter under our belt but we were in a marina so had the luxury of a hook-up to electric so could have the little heater on low all night during the really chilly weeks. Now we will be off grid and relying on our solar which is obviously less in the winter and our diesel heater and our little Boatman fire so it’s very important this is ready. Right, I think that’s it for today. ((Wait, I’ve just woken up. What did you say?? Oh yeah clearly i missed nothing!))
Until tomorrow. x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
