The first BBQ of the year. Finished off with a bottle of sparkling wine. Lovely. |
Had visions of a Police boat waiting through the bridge 'ole with a speed gun! |
This was pointing along the canal. Is it some sort of gun to shoot anyone that is speeding? |
With the price of 88p a ltr we took on board roughly 65 ltrs and then set off once more to see if we could moor at The Lime Kilns. Normally it is impossible but we spied a space opposite the pub and managed to squeeze in. Here we will stay until Echo is collected by Christine and Kev tomorrow before leaving this wonderful canal on Tuesday.

Black ducks. The look like an Aylesbury type |
I can see honest! Great for keeping the flies away from the eyes. |
They look to pale to be starlings. |
And finally:-
The mating. |
Strangle hold maybe. |

Well, I'm finding out that all is not pure pleasure living aboard a long-boat, but I still think it would be a marvelous adventure. Your mooring site at Lime Kiln looked very nice.
Have a wonderful week and I do hope that the humidity calms down a bit for you folks.
Stay happy, Connie :)
Hello Connie,
I know there are times when I wish we still had the car nearby but I love this life and wouldn't swap it for all the money in the world. The heat does get us down sometimes, the steel hull of the boat holds the heat and no amount of open windows and doors cool us down. Still its better then being cold. Hope all is well in your world across the vast pond. If we ever travel over to the States we will be sure to look you up. Oh and by the way, Gypsy Rose looks beautiful. Congratulations on the launch of her.

The Ashby is one of my very favorite places--especially Stoke Golding. Your BBQ looks divine and you both look great too. What kind of camera are you using for those spectacular pictures? Thanks as always for a lovely post.

Hello Jaq,
We will miss the lovely slow pace on the Ashby. Tomorrow we will be back on the Coventry and no doubt meet a lot more boats. My camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ48 and the lens I use for my close up photography is a HD Besel Medical macro584 4x. Some of your photos are spectacular. Love the one with the signets and golden sunset. Hope our paths will meet one day especially as we are heading south to do the Wet and Arun.
Best wishes to you both
Irene
