We set off from Uxbridge in snow flurries late on February 22nd, no parakeets (thanks everyone who told me they aren't parrots) around then morning. As we headed up towards Denham Deep Lock we spotted Amadeus coming up behind us so we had company for one lock. As we were heading up through Widewater Lock the lock wheeler from the Water Bus caught up with us on his bike, they were following us but it was a bit too cold to hang around waiting for them and I didn't feel guilty about not waiting for them as there isn't a shortage of water at the moment.
We moored for a few days below Springwell then moved back up to below Stockers last Wednesday. Nothing exciting happening, just hanging around. Just in case anyone here catches a report of a boat sinking in Batchworth Lock today,don't panic it wasn't us.
