    Day two on the canals

    Another beautiful day for boating🚤 up early and set off quietly and motored till Wolverton where we stopped to buy groceries at Tesco's. Found a toy shop called after me it had some awesome planes for sale but way to big to carry home. Back to the boat and off to the next pub. Night time mooring was at Soulbury 3 locks where we had dinner several more beers 🎉and then off to bed 🛏Read more

  • Brisbane

    June 29, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Just arrived plane was late leaving Newcastle and we had to catch transit 🚌 to international terminal, time for a wee,
    five minutes rest then on to Singapore

  • Singapore at last

    June 29, 2017 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Cramped flight from Brisbane to Singapore but uneventful, if a little scary when the captain announced on the radio that we were 95 kilometres northeast of Singapore when I actual fact we were 95 kilometres south east. So we were really happy to get off and stretch out in terminal 3 and have a few cinnamon doughnuts.Read more

  • London walkabout

    July 1, 2017 in England ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Off on a walkabout with no destination in mind, we ended up at the Natural History Museum which was ok but we did run into a protest about the government and on the way we stopped to purchase a daily driver as per pics. I'm a little cranky with myself as I lost my Oyster card on the way back with £10 still on it and Bronwyn says I must stay in my roo as punishment 😕Read more

  • Day one canal boat from Gayton

    July 3, 2017 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Sitting here at the first of many English pub meals, had a great first day after arriving at the first intersection and spending 2 hours deciding left or right we went left and found our way to the Grand Union Canal. Many drinks later we found ourselves st the https://www.thenavigationcosgrove.co.uk
    where a we had many more beers and stumbled home to our new home from home. Just to add to that at 63 years old I must say that is the best pub meal I have ever had.
