After my brother left us on 31st December for his return trip to Australia, we took the boat from Cosgrove back to Stoke Bruerne before the lock stoppage started on the 4th. We had planned to stay for a couple of days and then make our way slowly back to Sandiacre on the Erewash Canal. Best laid plans etc etc. and all that. Our fridge packed in!!!. Luckily we still had our car with us and so of to comet we went in search of another fridge. My only criteria was that it had a bigger freezer compartment as the old one was no use nor ornament! and every time I tried to open the door everything would slide out resulting in frozen goods all over the floor and me in a state of uncontrollable rage. Thankfully we found an under counter fridge with a good size freezer, but the down size was a slightly smaller fridge area. Oh well, he will have to hang his beer over the side of the boat if he wants to drink it cold. I'm happy at least!
We are now stuck on our mooring for the foreseeable future as the canal has frozen again and the weather forecast predicts this cold spell to last for at least another week. Still we are nice and warm. We have plenty of water in our tank and the dogs are loving every minute of the snow.
