Caught the bus into town to check out the moorings in Newbury. They looked lovely on the park,unfortunately the Fair Ground had come to town Friday through to Monday so we guesses it would be a noisy one. Whilst in town we brought tickets to see The Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers, playing at the Corn Exchange. Baz was not to keen but he really enjoyed it!
We decided to get the bus back to the boat then get the train in for the eve. How fortuitous as we had just finished lunch when Dot and Gordon our friends from Stone breasted up.
After a cuppa we went up to The Swan for a couple. Lovely surprise everyone looks so bronzed and well.
Got home about 11 ish after another fab eve. I just love live entertainment especially men in uniform!
Sunday got off by 9ish went up the lockes with nb Lakelady very knowledgable guy who takes a boat from Great Bedwyn to Thatcham regularly for disabled children on 5 day holidays. Brought back memories of hols with David Frost on the Norfolk Broads. Happy Days.
We had only done 1 lock and I decided to walk to the next swing bridge. Someone shouted 'Hi Carol '. Could not believe my eyes it was Tony Ranger (Baz Best Man at our wedding) Andy ( Ian Andrews) and 2 friends cycling the K & A towpath. We stopped for a chat and they came in to check out our home!
What a fab surprise still can not believe it.
Moored up at Top Lock just out of town. Plenty of people for me to chat to! Heather and Michael nb Wave & Smile popped in for a cuppa.
