Frosty

We have come up to the boat for a weekend of family things. We drove to London early as I was on the Breakfast shift; Adrian came for a look round the new studios then drove the rest of the way to the marine. He got there about 9am, and it was very frosty!

I came up on the train to Milton Keynes. Adrian had got the fire going and had the Eberspacher on. But the gas locker lid was frozen shut, so he hadn’t been able to put the gas on. We found some de-icer in his car and used that to unstick it. The hosepipe was also frozen, but a boater a bit further down had been filling his tank so we borrowed his. We couldn’t remember when the tank was last filled so we thought we’d better put some water in, but we didn’t want to fill it. 

At lunchtime we met a former colleague of Adrian’s for lunch at the Navigation right by the marina. This evening we are out again, meeting Catherine, Nigel, Grace and Matthew at a different pub.
