Back on the water

 Apologies!

There was a post about the end of our springtime travels but we are not at all sure about where it has gone.  Just to fill in though, we got home safely and have spent a few weeks at home where life has had it's ups and downs, with some sad news of family and friends, busy time in the garden and some very mixed weather.

We are now enjoying some  time on Hunters Moon slowly cruising the Oxford Canal towards Braunston. 

Before venturing out we had a few days in Maureen the motorhome hoping to cycle round Rutland Water. However, the weather defeated us and we have had to postpone this adventure.

Having reached the half way point of the year we are wondering where summer is. A few nights ago we had a fire to keep us cosy while the rain fell and the wind blew.

One job that we have wanted to get done on Hunters Moon for some time now is to paint the gunnels. Well, yesterday we found a perfect little mooring and after a little vegetation pruning we spent the afternoon preparing and then painting the port side gunnels. A good job done!
