Out and Free at last

 Well we have left the Marina at Last! And what a start to the season, at the first lock Sonning we were called in to the lock by the Lock-keeper behind a narrow-boat. AS I approached the lock the chap on the helm started to jump up and down waving his arms around and shouting at Carol that he would sue us if I hit him. He said that he had sued two other people successfully before the keeper asked him how long he had been boating Three years said he! Well said the keeper I have been boating for Thirty Three years and know how to work my lock, You had better moderate your behaviour or leave the river.  

To much excitement!! we let him leave and get ahead so he was out of our hair. WE spent bthe week making our way to Windsor as I have to be there for this Sunday for The St Georges Day Scout Parade as I have been awarded the Bar to the Silver Acorn, so we are  just running a few hours every day and taking it very easy. WE have arrived and as you can see HM is at Home.

Will update you all after the week end.
