Going back home… Day 216

C.L. Peache

Friday 23rd February Day 216

I do some more admin work ahead of picking up the car and once again, all goes smoothly as they collect us from the marina. Then we drive straight to Newark to see Chris’s parents and go for a meal. I’m not sure when we get the chance to be over that way for a while as if plans go to plan, we will be heading to London and therefore further away from everyone. Although, in the UK you’re never really that far away from anyone. I think when you’ve been about a bit ((Hey, hey. This is a family blog)) No, I mean travelled to different places in the world, you realise the UK isn’t that big and generally you can see someone within a few hours unless one of you is in Cornwall and one in Scotland that is!

After a nice lunch and catch up we head to the marina where we used to live and have a natter with a few people and pick up our post a friend has kindly kept for us. I decide my only option is to return the letters and mark that ‘I no longer live at this address’ it’s funny how companies refuse to take an address off the system and seem to have nothing in place for people who have no address. They would rather keep sending post to an address you don’t live at ((Bit of a data protection breach!)) I think so too, Brackets. Not that I think anyone at the marina would open them but that’s not the point. I don’t live there anymore!

On the way back we stop and get some shopping and then it’s back to the boat. Day done. Until tomorrow. xx

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’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors. In 2021 I joined Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app; A Christmas Wish, Decisions, Decisions, and A night lost to the past. Power of Nature a thriller/mystery novel is available on eBook. Finding Love, is my latest romance/rom-com novel and is available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon.

During my time exploring this wonderful part of the world I kept a journal and this became 187 Kilometres, turn left – which is a guide to our 43-day bucket list adventure. Available on Amazon.
