We're back!

Ready to join us on another trip to Lechlade?

It's been a while since I last updated our blog. Much has happened in the last 4 years or so but we still enjoy time aboard Life's too Short as often as we can, so it's time to get back to blogging our adventures!

I will try to fill some of the gap since 2107 (our move to Walton marina that ended up with Shepperton marina becoming our base for 2 years, a rather expensive trip to St Katherine Docks, we became grandparents, our move to Bray Marina and what we did to avoid Covid-19 when it arrived in our household!).

But for now, please fast forward, it is late May 2021 as the country is gradually moving out of lockdown and we are back on board for a week or so with a plan to go to Lechlade again. The weather hasn't been great recently so the river is running a little fast. There's been a mix of Red and Yellow boards for a while but as of tonight there are no Red boards in place, lots of Yellow boards and quite a few stretches without any warnings. So we're set for a fairly early start tomorrow morning once we've filled with water and collected a new toy (more to follow) that I left in the car boot we should be on our way.  We have plenty of fuel, (but hardly any gas) and a fair selection of wines and spirits to keep us going. What could possibly go wrong?

Where will we be tomorrow night? Not sure, but if the river conditions continue to ease we hope to have a long day so maybe somewhere upstream of Reading with a bit of luck. we are expecting the river to get very busy over the bank holiday weekend so we want to take the opportunity to get to the quieter end if we can.
