Here we are again...

We’ve made it! 198 miles and 102 locks between the 1st and 15th of September.

We’re going to take the rest of today to recover - meal in the Boar’s Head tonight, I think - then start getting ready for the Open Day and Owners’ Weekend tomorrow. First sign of trouble - the BW signs which had been put up, reserving ten spaces on the Deeps moorings for boats attending, all disappeared overnight.

Suspicion focusses on the guy living on one of the boats who has been jealously guarding “his” mooring on this towpath for three months now, but no proof, of course, so names will be mentioned here unless there are further developments.

Susan is going to replace the signs today. It looks like we’re going to have a good turnout of current and future Braidbar owners, and we’re hoping that the weather forecast is right for once, and that conditions will improve for the weekend.

They couldn't be worse than at present, with heavy rain and strong winds.
I’ll try and get back into the daily blogging habit, but that’s all for now.

I wish Derek and I could join you all for the Owners' Weekend. Unfortunately we have to work. We've been away for the last two weekends and really can't get away for this one. Our business should be off our hands by the new year if all goes to plan, and we will have a bit more freedom then, although we'll still be busy as we'll be clearing out the house and putting it on the market.
Hope the weekend goes well and you all have a good time.
