Sorry I have not posted anything recently but we have only managed a few quick trips to the boat to check all is ok. As we had finally decided it was time to downsize from 2 to 1 car and Anne said a very sad farewell to her Jazz at the end of August. We have never been to The Highlands of Scotland so therefore decided that to get to know the new car an autumn car touring trip to Scotland instead of a cruise on BB would be a good idea.
We did 2500 miles in 3 weeks and did manage to visit some canal sites, I'll post some pictures of the trip later.
The pictures below are of our trip to the boat in October.

| A great thing to have on a narrow boat but the questions would go on for a very long time! |

| The view from our new mooring is of a very old boat(note to self to try and find out more about it) and the bottom Calcutt lock through the trees |
 |
| One of the days when we were on the boat was very wet so we had a trip out to the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon. Its well worth a trip- this is the vehicle Land Rover produced for the Judge Dredge movie |

| These are MGs used to obtain the land speed record for 1500cc powered cars-one of which was driven by Stirling Moss in the early 50's |
 |
| We are getting a large group of Canada geese coming to the marina to roost overnight. Something spooked them just before dusk. |
