As I said at the end of the last post on the Beale Park blog, I'm taking a break from blogging whilst we charge from one end of the system to the other in order to get to Poynton in time for the Braidbar Open Day and Owners' Weekend.
Our boating day currently consists of getting up at six and setting off straight away, taking it in turns to breakfast on the move. At ten, I serve coffee and toasties from our new Diablo toastie maker (more about that later) and we eat lunch at around half twelve. Some days we then stop to do other stuff in the afternoon, others we boat on again afterwards.
But it seems that some folk are suffering blog withdrawal - I'm sorry about that, and can only offer the Twitter updates at the moment.
We've got as far as Kings Bromley, which is better than we'd hoped or feared, in view of how busy the system is just now. Only severe hold up was at Atherstone, where it took us a long time to descend the flight.
We've managed to buy Sheila a new pair of boots at Tamworth, and we've just bought some new folding chairs here at KB, at the garden centre just up the road.
Elanor is visiting us later today, to take away some stuff she left with us at Beale, and to deliver a slab of Pedigree to me.
Next proper post wil be after we arrive at Poynton, hopefully next Wednesday, unless we get badly held up on the run from here to Harecastle - once we're on the Macc we should be OK.
