I guess it ain’t over until home is reached, tomorrow.

Eventually found a nice spot for tonight right next to a canal, lovely and peaceful. Love the old lock keeper house.

That looks like forest middle top look on the Chesterfield canal. We used to have a mooring at west Stockwith for our 55ft Narrowboat 2002-2008. Great days, miss it.

Correct, lovely area with nice walks along the tow paths, I can understand why you miss it.

If it makes you feel better Terry the weather in Brittany took a turn for the worse today. After weeks of sun it’s been cold, windy and rainy all day today. Long trousers back on after nearly two months of shorts!

Out at the Justinlees last night, Tony. My college technician retiral doo. I’m rather fragile this morning. Did you have the award winning curry, I can’t recall the business name, I think they are part of the Ithias brand name?

I feel your pain regarding garden tidy up, I’m still at it when the weather is decent, toddy will be dedicated to the sun lounger.

By this time next week, your trip will be a faint memory

Justinlees brings back so many memories. 37 stairs down from our top floor rented flat in Dunallan, about 100 footsteps from there and we were in the Justinlees! So many great times back then in the 70’s when it was our local.
Now on the drive in Penicuik having had a superb curry cooked by our daughter. A much needed pick me up after having to indulge in strenuous activities with the 2 grandchildren.
Home tomorrow when the fun starts. Just hope the relevant machinery starts up to cope with the jungle. Interesting to see how the EV’s have fared after a 10 week layup as well.
