Brenda took the dog out this morning and, after an hour, Harvey turned up back at the boat on his own. A frantic search for Brenda found her on the towpath talking with someone.

At Tracey’s, the fencing was finished and the gate hung. Well pleased with the job but hard work.

In the afternoon, we met with Martin and Shelley in the grounds of the Kings Lock pub, bringing our own beer. Again, it was nice to meet up with old friends. The Kings Lock would be our usual meeting place but it did feel funny not being allowed inside. There were quite a few groups meeting up in the same way with most tables being full. Roll on when the pubs reopen.

Of course, there were no toilet facilities so we had to break up early. Brenda went for fish and chips, while I dragged the dog back to the boat, desperate for the loo. It was a long way back!

We sat in the front cratch and ate our fish and chips, very novel. After a bit of TV, it was early nights.

We heard today that at long last, Matt has paid-off his ship in Korea. He went away on 14th December for what should have been a 14-week trip. 27½ weeks later, along with circumnavigating the world, he is on his way home.
