Monday 7 - Thursday 10 September 2015

We’ve spent the last few days in Worcester waiting for our new engine mounts to arrive.....

On Monday we took Steve off to A&E as the rash was no better/getting worse and they said it is an allergic reaction to something and they gave him some prescription strength antihistamines which I am pleased to say a couple of days later seem to be helping!
Rob on Weston Lady then called to say that he was just cruising through Worcester when he spotted the boat outside the boatyard so he reversed back and moored up.  We walked into town thinking that nowhere would have music on Monday night but what should we find in The Swan and Two Nicks in a room at the back but about 30 people playing ukuleles!!  Brilliant what a funny evening singing along and having a dance!  Steve and Rob ventured upstairs where they had more serious players but were told off for talking so had to come back down.

We then went next door to another pub called The King Charles II which is one of the city’s oldest buildings – great place so we had bar snacks – locally made pork pies and scotch eggs!  Needless to say the evening ended in a boozy blur as it usually does when we bump into Rob!
I spent a couple of days wondering around and shopping in Worcester and am ready to leave now.  We had just given up hope that the engine mounts would never arrive when they did on Thursday afternoon so Jason, the guy in the boatyard, stayed until 7pm fitting them for us as he was off to the boat show on Friday.

So glad we can get going again tomorrow.  

I'm getting quite good at these wildlife pictures aren't I!

Memories of Bristol...

You have to see it to believe it.

I think they've missed each other...  Claire - I miss you!

Enjoying the music!

Big boys toys!

Lovely old engine.
