Stand By Your Beds.

Well it's all go here, last minute cold feet, so hit the cleaning big time, putting my intended lick and a promise routine on yesterdays blog was not such a good idea as it turns out, for Ali read it too! She rang to check I was just fooling, and of course I was........ dam it!!  So the engine is now running to get a couple of wash loads out of the way while we do the floors etc.


Archie all dustered up and ready for action. note the fire in his eyes, ready to go. Bella on the other hand clearly has no such intentions

Ali is now back on board and we are all pleased she is back, Of all the things that could go wrong with rail travel, surprisingly  it was the taxi from Macclesfield that let the trip down. Getting in a taxi at the railway station, she asked for the Rising sun Scholars green, only to be taken to a pub of the same name on an estate  somewhere in Macclesfield, the driver confessed he didn't know where she meant and took her back to the station to get another taxi, this one ran out of time and dropped her in Congleton for a third taxi to finally deliver her here,  ( now in need of extra cash to pay him with! ) still she is here now and busy inspecting the boat with a pair of white gloves on.



Both dogs seemed to know something was happening and were happy to sit outside and wait.


Warm welcome, and  a bit wet now thanks to Archie.

We are moving out of the marina tomorrow, not sure what the plan is, we will probably talk about that tonight, we may ask my brother  to help us find a garden centre, for we need to buy cocoa bean shells for the composting loo, and a few pots of flowers to decorate the boat.
Ali was up at 5 am to walk Phoebe my mums dog, so is  now starting to starting to flag, bang goes my trip to the pub !

Bye for now,
Baz and Ali.
