Still here!



It's been over a year since we last updated the blog. That's not to say that we haven't been out & about in Muriel over the year.

We had a 2 week trip in June 2009, when we went from Pillings Lock to Tixall Wide. We met our friends Gloria, Derek & Jake the dog there on nb Completely Foxed, and after a few days R & R in the rain, we then ambled back to Pillings Lock together.

Then in August we set off on a fantastic 5 week trip around the Thames Ring. It was a real taste of what we'll be doing in the future when we finally manage to give up working for a living! We went down the Oxford Canal to get on the Thames at Oxford & headed for London. We stayed in some fantastic places e.g. Cliveden, Runneymead & Hampton Court. To say we enjoyed ourselves would be a gross understatement. Our first ever trip on a tidal waterway between Teddington & Brentford went without incident and then we headed back North up the Grand Union. We met up with nb Completely Foxed again in Uxbridge & cruised together to Foxton, where we went our separate ways.


We really can't wait to move on board & start cruising for real!
