Eynsham meadows were already stuffed with overstayers, so the chance of getting a mooring up there was pretty slim today. I have to be at Oxford cruisers for 9am tomorrow morning, so I'm spending this afternoon hoovering, tidying up and generally getting ready for our boat safety examination. The flue has to be removed, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow morning before attempting that, as I'd like to enjoy the fire this evening.
Batten down your hatches, everyone.
Hi Ken. I've only recently discovered your blog (via Sue on No Problem) and have really enjoyed reading about your time afloat. (I went all the way back to the beginning.) So pleased you like Abingdon! My home town. Hopefully I'll wave at you some time.
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging - it is perfect escapism for those of us locked to the land who can only dream of such a life!
Cheers, Alistair
Hi Alistair. Thanks for reading the blog. I know what you mean... before we got our boat, we used to read all blogs and dream too.
ReplyDeleteWe all love Abingdon. Probably the most friendly and generous place towards boaters on the whole of the thames. If ever you do see us tied up there, please give us a knock, and we'll gladly put the kettle on.
