STILL AWAY FROM THE BOAT

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas and that 2011 will bring you all that you wish for, i think it will for us,  if not just settle for good health it`s priceless.

Well it seems from the communications i have had with boaters in the area that NB Valerie is still iced in so with regret i intend to stay with family a bit longer. The withdrawal symptoms are strong believe me but the choice of being around the grandchildren or sitting in an iced in boat was an easy one. For a bit of therapy i could jump on the bus to Marsworth and stroll along the canal now that the kids are back at school.

I have arranged a berth for the boat during my USA visit to Jaqueline in 4 weeks time if the ice melts but icy canal or not  i`ll be on that plane for sure.

Over the period of my being encased in bricks and mortar i will try and blog, something, a bit different perhaps has been crossing my mind so perhaps i might put it down in words and see what people think.
