Peaceful

Took beast for a stroll around the woods. It didn't drop below freezing last night, but it was still warmer off the boat, than on it this morning. When we got to the top of the hill, it was warm with plenty of sunshine. Great views across Berkshire from up there too.


Back onboard now, with a nice fire going. My favourite time of the day, because all the walkers have gone home, and the geese have shut up for the night. The only sound is Sumo snoring. It is a great pleasure to hear 100 percent absolutely nothing, in this often noisy world. Part of the reason why I enjoy this particular stretch of the river very much, is that it is so quiet and peaceful (off season). Such riches can't be bought. Just seen one other narrowboat all day. Apart from that, nothing moving at all.
