Not much boating over the last 5 months but we did manage a few days out on the boat in glorious sunshine the other week. Just a lovely slow cruise through Braunston to Hillmorton and back-I'll post some pictures soon.
We did manage to do a trip from our "bucket list" which was A Great Railways Trip to Norway/Sweden and into the Artic Circle- we did see The Northern Lights, just the once in The Lofoten Islands but they were magical. We also visited the Ice Hotel and I went down the worlds deepest underground Iron Ore mine.A great trip during which we met some lovely people including Jenny and Martin who has just volunteered as a lock keeper at Stone.
When we went through Audlem on the Shropshire Union last June we had to visit the excellent craft shop next to the Shroppie Fly pub where I purchased a copy of Historic Working Narrow Boats Today. Its a spotters heaven as you can tick off what you have seen and it may also tell you the boats history
Anne has been very busy and has now finished her cross stitch picture of Fradley Junction and very good it looks to.
