It was so lovely to have K come and visit us from home as we were able to go for a walk through Kings Langley, sit outside Fred & Ginger (look out for them – they have a branch in Berkhamsted as well. Not sure if also further afield) and enjoy elevenses. Delicious cakes and coffee! We then started to spy all the festive knitwear (known as a yarn bombing sortie apparently!) which was dotted up and down the High St, some of which you can see on the pictures below.
A dry afternoon so we decided to travel towards Watford which became quite a workout for me as the locks were further apart than anticipated so I got a good walk! The sixth lock door defeated me and almost defeated R, it was so difficult to open. How less strong people manage on their own, I really do not know.
We moored in a beautiful stretch of water adjacent to a golf course. Very peaceful considering how close we are to major roads, with a fairly decent towpath, obviously well used judging by the amount of people we saw walking past the boat.
The quietest Saturday night I have probably had in December for many a year. And we’ve run out of red wine. Another first! It’s not as though there is even a shop close by. I think we are the furthest we have ever been from a shop looking on Google maps!
