We arrived here on Sunday after spending the afternoon on the M1 - not so tricky really for us Sydneysiders. I much prefer driving the motorways to the narrow country roads through villages, with cars parked any which way on the sides of roads, or narrow hedged roads with no passing spaces. No wonder most English people drive small cars. Mind you, petrol is about $3 per litre, so that would be another reason!
As you know our itinerary has changed considerably. If you scroll right to the bottom of this blog, you will find a calendar.
Yesterday we spent half a day back at the motor home hirer's depot getting a few things fixed and checked out. I have a bedside reading lamp at last, and we had the tail light fixed.
The Marina we are camped at has many moored canal long boats. We showed you some of these at Banbury. There is a vast network of canals and locks throughout the midlands.
We are spending four nights here, before heading for Sheffield. It has been very cold - 13C maximum for the past few days, but we have had a share of sunshine. Starts off brilliantly blue whilst we are getting the courage to get out of bed, then goes steadily overcast during the day.
Cheerio for now.
