Back where we wanted to be.

Thursday July 14th . 6hrs . 3 locks. (two in our favour!)
After several weeks struggling with the physio sessions for the "new" knee, missing one through illness(me) and one through annual leave (them) the prospect of the sessions stretching ahead in to August and not getting away on the Great Escape before the school holidays begin was too much. So I've taken two weeks official holiday from them and we are away on our beautiful boat for nearly three weeks! Hurrah. We've decided to head down the Coventry canal and take a jaunt down the Oxford to visit old haunts. Our previous (share) boat Wild Kitten is moored down there and we realized that we miss the winding beauty of the southern Oxford. But we've moored tonight just short of Hopwas, between Hopwas Hays wood and the River Tame. A beautiful,quiet spot.The fridge is the noisiest thing I can hear....apart from doves billing and cooing. I'm sure we will renew our aquaintance with Virgin trains before long. But for now, things couldn't be better.
