Rain means a work day… Day 275

C.L. Peache

Monday 22nd April Day 275

I worked pretty much all day today as the weather was rather grotty so I try and take the opportunity to get stuff done so I can be on the stern during our cruising days and enjoying the scenery. It’s getting to the point where everything needs to come together for the book festival – the programme needs to be finalising, the designer is creating the brochure, then this goes to print and somewhere along the line we add the information to the website and the links from the Palace Theatre so people can book. It’s great team work to get it to this point. If you fancy checking out the website it should be live on the website when this goes out or nearly about to go live!

Chris made some pastries which were delicious and a butternut squash and feta pie! ((You don’t deserve him!)) hey, I was working at the dinette so it meant he was designated cook and he is a better cook than me. ((That wouldn’t be difficult!))

At one point Chris moves the boat up a little as we are staying here another day and we don’t want to be cleaning the bird poo off the boat again tomorrow morning.

Day done. Until tomorrow x ((P.S. tomorrow is the day where you might need to pre-make breakfast, lunch and dinner and make up a flask… it’s a long one!))

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.
