Well the Thames ‘Red’ boards are starting to come down but
another problem seems to have arisen in that the River Kennet between Kintbury
and Reading still seems to be in flood, despite the lack of any significant rain
over the past few days. Our plans still remain to set off at about the end of
the month and hope that all of the stoppages have cleared before we reach them.
The canal here is starting to get busier and I dread to
think what it will be like in the middle of summer when another 50 hire boats
join all of the liveaboards and other narrow-boat owners starting to come out
from their marinas, I wold think that finding a mooring in Bath would be almost
impossible. The plan for this week is to move on tomorrow back to Dundas
overnight and then on to Bath for Monday where we have arranged a reunion with
our daughter before we head off back up country.
Managed to watch the last three 6 Nations rugby matches, the
only one that seemed to have an uncertain result was the France v Ireland match
which was close and deservedly won by the Irish, even though that prevented
England from winning the Championship, at least they have the compensation that
they have beaten the team that won the title!
