Its been a funny year in that we have have been unable to go on an extended cruise. We have had various family commitments and I have had another trigger finger operation which has taken longer to get back to normal than the other two. We have managed a few short visits to the boat as we do get withdrawal symptoms and Simon and Debs managed to take her out for a first weekend on board, they did have to dodge heavy rain and the classic boat rally in Braunston.
A few photographs from in and around the boat on our recent visits.

| The gate house for Charlecote Manor well worth a visit if you are in the area |

| Braunston boat rally |

| Just a lovely view of the bows of old working boats |

| Whats up Duck- walked into the boat bold as brass |

| I first thought this was some form of growth on the wall of the house as you approach Wigrams Turn but I think it is supposed to be clouds or possibly fish! |

| A boat name I could not resist |
