Since the last update we have left Hunters Moon in the Thames and Kennet Marina, returned home to do all the things we had to do at home including catching up with our lovely children and grandchildren and Jenny's dear old mum. We then returned to the marina and in the pouring rain left the marina, made our way onto the K and A and arrived at Thatcham this afternoon.
After the rain of yesterday and Sid getting another soaking the sun shone tody and we are both feeling happier. We passed through Reading hastily while the rain fell and it was not long before the beautiful Berkshire countryside began to unfold, even in the wind and rain and our adventure along the K and A began.
Today we have encountered 9 very big locks, several electric swing bridges, where Jenny felt empowered as she operated the bridges thus causing long queues of traffic while Hunters Moon cruised sedately through the open bridge! I just hope none of our readers were kept waiting!!
On through Newbury tomorrow and on towards Hungerford.
It is lovely to be back on the water and back in touch with everyone.
