Monday 4^th November

Well we are now back out on ‘the cut’.  The weekend was lovely.  We arrived in the marina at Yelvertoft on Thursday morning, having rung ahead so we knew which berth we were on.  Straight on from the entrance, so that was easy.  Have had a very sociable time either visiting, or having visitors.  On Saturday friends took us to Daventry, might not sound exciting but these days a ride in a car is a treat!  We are easily pleased!  Saturday night was the Halloween Party, though our dressing up was minimal.  Paul had a hat and me a wig!  The punch was good and I did my best to sample it!  Being in the marina meant we had electrical hook up so caught up on a few chores, hovering etc.  Also made full use of the laundry facilities, so now we are all spick and span and fully charged.  We left about 3 after a pump out and cruised for about an hour.  Tomorrow we will go down the staircase at Watford, then probably moor up and go for a coffee at Watford Gap services on the M1.  Living it up again!  So until next time cheerio.

PS Well as you will have seen at the top it is now Tuesday and we are at Watford Gap Services having a latte and using their internet.  We have come down the staircase of 4 and 3 other locks this morning.  The lockkeeper booked us in asked if I knew what to do and we didn’t see him again.  Don’t think he wanted to be out in the rain.  Well must crack on as I didn’t bring the power lead and we are sat right by a socket.  TTFN
