A faffy day as the weather stops play. Day 259

C.L. Peache

Saturday 6th April Day 259

The promised high winds arrive and we brave a little walk up the towpath which are a little muddy and wet but not as bad as the Ashby or Coventry canal by any stretch. We walk to the marina which isn’t far away to check out the facilities so we know we can access them easily when we hopefully leave on Monday morning. It looks like we might well need to moor up somewhere on Tuesday as the weather is going to have another tantrum.

It’s a faffy day on the boat and I get busy at the dinette with another little walk into Fazeley which is a really lovely little area which has every single takeaway you could wish for ((Including the fish and chips you had yesterday)) Oh yeah, I forgot out those – chipshop Friday! They have a tesco express which is handy.

Nothing else to report today. Chris finds his polishing stuff so buffs up the side of the boat we have been painting and it looks so much better. It’s removed the marks which had been created by rust running down from the chimney. We just need to do the other side the next time we are moored somewhere. Day done. 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’!)) 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.
