Brief posts for a bit

27th & 28th June

The next few posts will be every day, but quite brief. This is partly because we'll just be poddling up and down the Witham until next weekend, and partly because my right shoulder is giving me problems at the moment, and doing lots of typing seems to make it worse.

Yesterday we did the short run down to Tattershall Bridge, and got a place on the pontoons there without difficulty.

In the afternoon, we were collected by Graeme and Cathy, and went to see round Tattershall Castle, which is strongly recommended as an example of an early and restored castle. We spent the night at their house, so that they could have an evening off at the cinema whilst we baby sat. We collected some post from them - many thanks to Graham Keens for his help with our phone handset.

After lunch today we came back to the boat, and set off down river intending to moor at Anton's Gowt for a change. The pontoons there were full, mainly with Doorengone, the big South African Dutch barge.

We've come on down to Boston, where as always there's loads of room. Hopefully we'll get a space at Anton's Gowt tomorrow.
