Thursday 29th October

At last, I am up to date with my Blog entries although I still need to add some pictures! We haven’t travelled far today at all. I think we have gone through one lock and are moored up near a pub called The Carpenters Arms. However R is really disappointed because he has just found them online and they are permanently closed! So he’s going to have to settle for a glass of red wine and I, my delicious Blood Orange Beefeater gin with ice. A very thoughtful present from a friend before we set off! We’re moored here because we are waiting for James. I don’t think I have mentioned him yet, but he works for Alex, who we have our boat from. Alex is in another part of the country so we have yet to meet. Meanwhile James showed us on board, taught us all we know and has left us to our own devices up until now. However there are one or two snags to get sorted and he also has some foldable bikes for us so that we can venture further afield if we want to. We thought he was coming to see us yesterday, which would have beenvery convenient for him as we were in Leighton Buzzard. Then we thought he was coming today so we have moored up by an easily accessible road. However it is now dark and late so no doubt we will hear from him tomorrow. Nothing is that urgent that it can’t wait!
