Retirement with No Problem

St Neots to Paxton, River Great Ouse, 3.75 miles 1 lock

The grandchildren Jessica and Molly enjoyed their train ride back to London yesterday, and although the underground was really busy they both coped well for their first time in the tunnels.  They didn’t say much, I think they found it awesome, and on the first train we had to stand, and there we were all huddled together with our arms round each other.  It must look awful to little tiny humans, all they can see is trousers and skirts… I really can’t imagine what it would be like.. I can’t remember myself!!

We pulled the pins after lunch today after stocking up for the next week or so.  We won’t be near any shops for a while, so it was important that I stocked up for that.  Mr Tesco once again delivered the heavy stuff and Lucy and Megs food to the pontoon at St Neots, and with the glass out of the windows, once again he just passed me the bags through the window into the galley.. how handy is that!!..

Away then from St Neots.. I like this place a lot..

And it was tickover downstream and through St Neots lock to moor close to Paxton Nature Reserve.. Gonna have a few days here relaxing, and although it was raining this afternoon and evening I still did a bbq.. tis very humid too, but I won’t be complaining about that!..
