We have now done our family visits and celebrations here in the south. I eventually got round to visiting my brother last week and we went for a meal to celebrate Bob and Babs golden wedding anniversary last Sunday. It was good to catch up with everyone, it will probably be about eighteen months before we are down this way again as the plan is to be on the Leeds and Liverpool next winter. We spent a few days on the moorings at Batchworth, then moved to Cassiobury park on Wednesday.
As we left Batchworth it started to snow, only a few flurries apart from that it was quite pleasant cruise. As we were working through Cassiobridge Lock it started to get windy so we were glad to moor up. We went to see Bob and Babs in the evening and I was glad Bob came and collected us as there was a blizzard for about an hour.
Yesterday we walked into Watford so Ray could do some birthday present shopping. I intend to have a lazy day tomorrow to celebrate my birthday then hopefully we will be on the move. I must get back into regular blogging mode.
