Really didn’t think we’d go anywhere today as it was so rainy and all we wanted was to hunker down and write Christmas cards. The 10am YouTube service from our church had a Zoom interview with us on the boat, which was prerecorded. Not a pretty sight seeing oneself on camera! My sister rang and as it was Sunday we each poured a glass of sherry and toasted our mum! Then the weather cheered up and I realised we had run out of Christmas cards so we decided to walk into Watford not realising how far it was. Still it blew away the cobwebs and we felt so much better for the exercise.
I looked on trip advisor to see if there was a recommendation for some food and No 2 on the list was a Lebanese restaurant that we happened to pass. It was just about to close! So we opted for a nearby cafe where I had the most delicious vegetarian lasagne and R choose me a green smoothie – apple, avocado and spinach, which was surprisingly tasty! Got me thinking that often the most unpretentious places can provide the best food. And at a reasonable price!
We returned to the boat joining the canal downstream so that we could look for a future mooring. We were surprised at how busy the moorings were, an indication we are getting ever closer to London. By the time we arrived back at our boat darkness had fallen but we felt energized and upbeat about life. A day that we thought was going to be humdrum and quiet actually put us both in a relaxed happy mood – the satisfying meal had a lot to do with it!
