Days 150,1,2,3,.... 10,11,12,13.10.13 .... Whilton,Weedon


.................... this is still a compilation of where we have been over the last 4 days.  At Whilton we had these traditional boats behind us and so took the obligatory pic of the sterns.




The bottom of Whilton locks has been a good place to moor for there is a chandlery and a small cafe. Also a good place for Mike to come and pick me up to fetch the car back in order to start off-loading some of the furniture we are taking to the house in Old Stratford.



....................... bit of a shock to the pair of us !!



....................... the house in Old Stratford had been very well kept although when we got there, it seemed to be very spacious after 9 and a half years on a boat.

 


.......... funny to get the desk in there and think ..... that looks small!!!!  We could probably live quite happily in the main room downstairs !!! Maggie likes the floorboards which have matured well.


We have spent the last couple of days filling boxes and taking them down to the house.  On the way down to Weedon, which is where we are now, we stopped at The Heart of the Shires, a large craft centre with various shops.
 

We are now ensconced in a fourteen day mooring that should be O.K. although we do not get the Internet here which is why this is being put out from The Heart of England pub !!


t

Next week we have two brokerage firms coming to give us a valuation on the boat. Does anyone want to buy one ????
