Back on board for a week now after a 10 day visit to family in Kent and Sussex. This turned into 12 days as I got held up by 6" snow in Kent - this gave me the opportunity to go tobogganing with 2 of my grandchildren on lovely Southborough Common. Heard on the radio after that a number of casualities at A&E were middle aged people who had sledging accidents!
I then went to Suffolk for a further 5 days with boating friends/crew Chris and Mary and with them attended their late local Burns Night (I had been to one in Kent too!) plus accompanying them bellringing as usual. As I returned to boat it was snowing heavily and the line of 10 boats I walked past to mine were covered thickly - a lovely sight.
This week spending a lot of time with family history research which I started 10 years ago, now aided by my new laptop and mobile broadband - so much faster than via my phone!
