I haven't blogged since we got home, and reading through last Friday's post I realise I left us half way through the last day. It was in fact a good, non-stressful day. We enjoyed Tixall Wide but were disappointed not to see kingfishers there. We finally moored up about a mile from the boatyard, with two locks to do in the morning. We BBQd again, but ate it indoors. We were back at the boatyard well before nine, moored up to one of the parked boats and went off to the lounge to have another big breakfast. Joe and Sally joined us, then Steve and Kate went home and we stayed an extra day in Stone. Fantastic Italian meal out, and then a great evening under Joe's new patio heater, listening to music, and drinking. In the afternoon Dave had helped Joe install a double outdoor plug, and renew the wiring to one of the front room plugs. Joe was very pleased, even though the front room is half finished, with bare parquet blotched with paint, and the fireplace partly stripped out. It will be lovely when it is done.
Life has been a bit flat since we came home. The Knees have had three days at Clogwyn, so we have been quiet, with no-one but the cats to visit us in bed in the mornings. They are just back, and we are going to have a take out curry. Normal life has been resumed.
