Bit of a cruise

Hello Blog-trotters,

For anyone not upto speed with our situation, we are Back !!! For good !!!!. Sold up and whilst awaiting for the lodge to be sited, we thought we would have a week on the Great Ouse, and then when I have done all the bits and bobs in the lodge, we will be off onto the canal system in july until end of october.

We both have the worst colds and coughs that we have had in a long time. Welcome to the UK.

So we set off from the boatyard, and spent the night in March( Mick knows how to show a girl a good time !), and then early the next morning we trundled off to Salters Lode ( about 4.5 hours) weather glorious, us sneezing and coughing all the way. Did the exciting crossing on saltwater, the tide was in and was just about to turn. So in at Denver Sluice and on to The River Great Ouse system. very wide and very beautiful. weather HOT !. Friends & fellow narrowboaters J& M + 2( the 2 being cairns) have threatened to come and find us as they live at Denver.

A great nights sleep helped by nightnurse and now we are at Ely. I checked out cathedral, saw a new born foal and then hung my washing out.managed not to drop it in the ouse. !

and for this evening we will moor at "The five miles from anywhere, no problem" public house to inbibe a beer or three and listen to some music.

When I feel better I am going to stencil the ceiling of Trundle.
