Shine on April sun and boats

We bravely watched some TV last night prior to bed with no adverse affect on the batteries, even this morning. Read into that what you will. As predicted it is warm and sunny again. As of last night the intention today is to turn both boats round and polish their other sides before heading back to civilisation, if you dare label Nuneaton that way. However, once we have conferred with our fellow travellers after breakfast the plan may have changed. All is well with the world.

The end of the Ashby 2015 style.

Officially the hottest day so far this year so we finished polishing the boat and it looks stunning.
Once completed we opted to walk to the nearest town to the current canal end, Measham, a round trip of  5 miles for supplies, something of a record for Lynne and the longest for me since my health problems.
The canal will by-pass Measham and actually finish at Moira, once disputes between the local council,the Canal and River Trust, plus a few other interfering organisations and a Badger sett are settled.
Maggie Thatcher and her famous "The woman is not for turning" statement sprang to mind today as
Tardis two was turned 3 times to facilitate polishing the bow side, filling with water and pointing the right way for leaving tomorrow.
