Retirement with No Problem

Moored Abingdon, River Thames

Hey look at this…

WOW, its a hire boat!!

Actually this pic taken this morning shows how the river is flowing.. tis fast, tis still in the red.  No Problem is still moored at Abingdon!  Hire boat people don’t worry about the river being in the red, they just go.. mind you with a boat like that, spose they need not worry.. when it did pull away, there was quite a wash.. ummm plenty of power there!

This is one of Blakes Boats.. very posh it was too..

But upstream from Abingdon was ‘yellow’ (increasing stream) all the way to Oxford, but downstream it is ‘red’ (strong stream) all the way to Reading.  Three of the locks on the Thames are shut until March next year on 1st November… Let’s hope the weather forecast for this area is correct.. we should now get two dry days followed by a day of light rain followed by a dry day.. I think we will make it.. Surely downstream will go ‘yellow’.. well only 40 miles to go to the Kennet and Avon!
