7 months later and there's allot to write about!

Apologies for the second instalment that's if anyone is reading this! It's all been a bit hectic.
Well where to start, we signed for our boat in October and set to work on ripping the insides out, first job that needing doing was the removal of the two beds, loo and sink that would become our saloon. Then the removal of radiators, the ripping of the kitchen out, moving of the seats, installing the kitchen, led lights, tiling, flooring, 240v and stove. I am not going to write about the technical aspects as I didn't complete the work, my hubby Tony will do that as he will be able to give more insight and help to others.

Well after the work was competed we had to move "Dampervan" ( said named as we have a 1979 vw camper van) from Chirk to Aston Marina nr Stone. Some 74 miles, 72 locks I think ( off the top of my head) we started on 2nd December and the planner said 6.5 days travelling at 7hrs 34 mins per day. We made very good time, we actually made up a day as there was nothing on the cut. Then our early arrival was scupperd due to Harecastle tunnel only being open on certain days. So we had a nice rest just short of the tunnel.

We get through the tunnel, which Tony steered and i stayed in doors by the fire! one more over night stay and we arrive at Aston Marina.

We then find our mooring, pump out and fill up with diesel before its back to the house to finish off packing and prepare for the big move on Dec 14th
