Today Moored Bugbrooke

Daughter Wendie, her hub Danny and the grandchildren Kiera and Niamh came up to visit on Saturday.. a stop over before going for fun Alton Tower’s new Water Park, and today I think they were going to the actual park itself.  They will be coming back aboard NP tomorrow for a stop over before travelling back ‘dan saff’ on Thursday. 

Look who they left with me!

It’s a good job this is a larger narrowboat!.  Top left is Lucy, with Meg lower left, you can see just her head, and our visitors, Buddy is top right and Tilly the choc lab.  It has been raining a lot, and it is impossible to keep them out of the water.. Here we go on a walk..

At least they are all well behaved with me, and they enjoy each others company too, so makes walking them a breeze… but trying to dry them is impossible.  I am glad I have no carpets!!

Major clean up time inside, me thinks, when they have all gone!  I just wish they wouldn’t shake once inside.. it is splattering mud all over the place!!!

We all had a great night on Saturday, burning the candles until quite late as per normal when we all get together.. no doubt another good evening coming up tomorrow when they return from Alton Towers!

Today I went off to Northampton to purchase some new clothes.. well the ones I have make me look like I am wearing a tent!.. came back with 2 new pairs of jeans, a new coat and 3 new blouses and an empty purse!  Just one more pound to go to get to my target of 9st 7lb set as a new year’s resolution.  I was 11^st 7 lbs then, and my aim was to lose 2 stone by July 31^st.  Now I am 9st 8 lbs!  I have promised myself a fish and chip supper once I reach that magic weight!

It won’t be long ‘till we get onto the River Nene now, and I am getting excited at the prospect.  I simply love that river.. my very favorite stretch of waterway having been along it in 2005 and 2006.
