Retirement with No Problem

Milford to Tixall Wide, Staffs & Worcs Canal, 1.5 miles 1 lock

I couldn’t believe it this morning when I pulled the curtains.. ice!  Yet another good covering good grief!  It was so cold too when I took the girls out for their morning walk, but it didn’t stop us filling our wood stocks to the brim for the woodburning stove.. It was just round the corner you see, I had spied it the other day, we just had to wait for the ice to melt a bit or narrowboats to break through it.

So we spent all morning cutting and chopping and storing… hard work and I knew I had had a good workout.. Vic has crashed this afternoon, he did really well…

Just one lock today, and as per my new years resolution ‘twas me who did it.. well nearly, look at sir again, he’s off the boat, he can’t help himself doing something!…  The only boat on the move this morning, and this time it was us crunching the ice..

Just gonna relax now for a day or so and catch up with Chas and Ann aboard Moore2Life and hear all their news.. We’ll have an evening together tonight probably..
