We're back aboard

We are back on board having driven up from home on Friday. 

The shower is now mended and in full working order - yippee! 

Saturday was spent sorting out the boat and topping up supplies before setting off on Monday for about 5 weeks cruising. Not sure yet which way to go but we'll probably head South to start with and see which way we turn after Braunston. 

Saturday afternoon we took a turn around the marina as it was a lovely day. 

This is the lake in the marina grounds with picnic benches dotted all round the place. 

And the captain surveying the marina from the bridge over the entrance to the canal. 

Moving on to Sunday we spent most of the day with Harvey and Helen, went to church with them - twice! Communion service in the morning and Taizé in the evening. A lovely family day together. 

So, tomorrow, fill up with water, empty the loo and off we go - at least, that's the plan!
