Getting ready.
Tomorrow we are cruising to Banbury to get some work done on the tin can. Hopefull
y I'll be able to photo-document the journey (it will take 3 days). The inlaws are coming to help crew as I can't jump on and off the boat with my sprained ankle. And when we get to Banbury our lovely little tin can will be hauled out of the water to have the hull cleaned and blackened (and a few other minor repairs). The whole process takes a week, so on Monday we'll drive back here and stay in our new digs: My parent's narrowboat. I'm just about to start packing everything we'll need for when we'll be wrecking staying on it. That includes Tain, the little chappie in the photo. He'll be moved this evening (and cared for by friends) until we get back.
Second Meadow. Our temporary home from monday.
