And now for a short intermission

We reached Rodley yesterday morning, we stopped just before Owl swing bridge to meet Tim, Margaret and Nicholas for them to join us for our last half mile of journey. Tim helped me with the swing bridges and spent part of the time on he stern with Ray and part up front with Margaret and Nicholas. Nicholas seems to love the boat.


After we had moored we went to their place for a barbeque, it was a bit chilly but a very enjoyable afternoon and evening. Tim, Ray and Nicholas went to the park for a while and Margaret and I did the prep for the barbie. After dinner we watched the Jubilee concert on the telly.

We will be here until at least next Monday so we can make the most of seeing the family.
