Just sitting here, taking in the news of yet another lockdown. We are back in Berkhamsted where we sat the last lockdown out! This time we are moored outside of Waitrose, which could be convenient! However we will have to reverse the boat to get to the water tap and walk our potty cassettes to the nearest Elsan which is about half a mile from here. Alternatively we travel a couple of miles up the canal to Cowroast where there is both water and an Elsan. Not much food though! So on balance we think it best to stay here. Be interesting to see if the CRT still continues with its maintenance program. We were trying to get to Whipsnade before the lock closure on 11th January until 5th Feb. No rush now! If the work goes ahead hopefully the canal will be open by the end of lockdown and if it gets postponed we should be able to get to the other side before they start once lockdown finishes.
We walked along the towpath to Cowroast today to see how busy it is with boats and to get some exercise. We walked back on the road through the town and it seemed much further coming back for no particular reason. I was hard pressed to find anything of interest to photograph so you have a picture of a tree with ash dieback!
I am not sure how interesting the blog will be if we can’t move anywhere so you may find my musings a little sparse over the next few weeks. Or I may just go off at a tangent writing about all sorts of things just to give me something to do!
