Retirement with No Problem

Moored Hillmorton, Oxford Canal

I like it here.. well maybe I am liking not moving, I am getting things done, and so is Vic!  I got back from my morning walk to shouts and screams from underneath the back canopy and two dogs quickly ejected from that area as they raced to greet Vic on their return ..

What did I see then?.. Ha a weedhatch cover neatly pained in a good ‘ol base coat of red oxide, and a new weedhatch seal ready to go around that area once it had dried, for sure dog hairs and noses were not welcome!!

This is the Lock Stock Bistro that serves the most delicious Sunday Roasts.. I think we are staying here this week.. can I let next Sunday go by without visiting again?

‘Tis a bit blowy tonight and looking at the forecast it seems we are in for more rain.. satellite dish has come in doors this evening, now that is a rarity, but a necessity.

I am much happier with the front saloon of No Problem.. if you remember I was feeling that it was not a ‘cozy’ place, couldn’t put my finger on the reason why.. but I got a couple of throws/rugs from Ikea the other day for a staggering 99p each and I chucked one over the back of one of the black leather arm chairs.. said to Vic that evening “Hey you know what, I feel a bit happier about the saloon, but no idea why.. what has changed my mind?”

He then look around and took off the throw.. hey presto that was it!!

So yesterday in Rugby I got a really nice throw to go right over the black leather chair.. it has transformed the place into a really cosy home.. at last.. only taken a year to work that out!!
