Football and Eastwoods coming home
This is a top pick! Sorry to say that Gill failed the last test in Beijing and the doctor did not want her to continue to japan - too much infection still in the wound with dead tissue that stops the healing process and needs to be cut out. It had been hoped that the wound ...

Planning
This is a top pick! The planning started in earnest in the summer. Can you imagine the brochure piles, the post-it notes and of course the evenings where "we really must make some decisions". we agreed not to do it all in one trip and of course to try and see places in ...
Get Packing
This is a top pick! It still says Easties have traveled 0% of the world. That's right in reality BUT mentally we are sometimes in the Philippines trying to imagine a round trip 18 hour bus journey (£4 each) and establish just how rotten the journey might be so as to ...
Part three - South America
This is a top pick! The faithful wagon was subjected to it's MOT a few days after our return. It passed with flying colours - even with the comment "it's very sound for it's age mate" We felt very guilty putting it back in its hole for the winter after it had served us so ...
Retirement
The Cuba trip was all that we hoped and helped us decide that it was time to pack in the day job and start some serial ...
Going for an Indian
Thanks to Gordon spending all the money during the so called good times the "pound in your pocket" is shot at. So where do we shoot at? - certainly not at the US and of course Euroland is out of the question - let's set off for one of the pink bits on ...
Summer School - Rickmansworth
... to put together a, pardon the expression, but a ‘dumb’ class, kids would be blended throughout the course. Rickmansworth had a ‘dumb’ class. Attention span and this class just did not exist and you guessed it they were ...
Good old BA (Hopefully)
Willie Walsh has done his best to up the excitement of our latest adventure - but all being well our flight flies which is just as well coz we had(ve) no plan B. We are off to Vietnam tomorrow for 4 weeks and then another 2 weeks in the Philippines. Gill ...
Narrowboating on London's canals
Our time in the UK & Europe is coming to an end as we leave on Saturday bound for Thailand and Malaysia en route back to Adelaide. In England we’ve done alot of catching up with family and had some valuable ‘downtime’ from ...
The calm before the storm
So, England eh! About 4/5 weeks till Im off outta here - v.unprepared. Got me rucksack which looks like it could hold a small child/Tommy, got a Thai visa (£30 for a stamp what?!), pen knife, my first lot of jabs (cant wait for the next lot ...
Last one from Blighty
Right, think Im sorted. Had my "holiday cut" so feelin the dirty English cold but should be ok in the 31degrees in Bangkok. My friend informs me Im gonna be sweating like a bitch when I step off that plane - cant wait for that. Got the trusty "dri-clor" ...
Sitting Duck
The Duck is still sitting at home, watching the computer screen in the hope that it will send her to China... Olympic Year = tighter restrictions on visa entry, especially for those who want to work out there, no matter what profession (or unless you ...

Day 3
On Monday we went with Den's friends to their canal boat, housed northwest of London. We intended to stay on board Monday night, but it was too cold to stay on the water all night. So we just traveled down the canal. It was so beautiful ...
Bulls Bridge to Rickmansworth
... Harefield. The weather was very hot, and pushing the lock gates was thirsty work. Near Springwell Lock, a mile short of Rickmansworth, we spotted Nomad Dream - Robert and Rachel Kerkham of Boaters Christian Fellowship. We decided to moor up and spend some ...
The long journey North

... photo below) before taking off. We set off about 11.30 and 6 miles and 7 double locks later we arrived at Rickmansworth. Quite a lot of boats moored here but we managed to find a space. We had arranged to meet up with Cathy Silmon ...
nearly time for hitchhiking!
Hellooo! So, leave for sheffield tomorrow! Bit of a shame that I have to get the train up there only to have to try and hitch a lift all the way back down less than 24 hours later! but ohhh well! We have to text in everyday to let everyone know where we ...
Cassiobury Park
Moved a little further along the canal. Can't believe we are STILL inside the M25 ring. We are getting a lot better at going up double locks singly and keeping the boat tucked safely against the lock wall. Arrived at Croxley Green and ...
Homeless!
Well we handed our house over today and it appears to have gone well. So today it is official, we are homeless! Needless to say there were a number of tears shed and that was just Jacko. Couple of thanks.....Laine and Steve ...
