We're all trapped! (video and photos)

I don't know if the idiot boater got back into the marina before work started. You remember? The one who asked if this massive two-month work could be delayed so that he could enjoy more time on the cut? (The nasty side of me hopes he's still out there, waiting to return home.)


What I do know is that work has started, and all boats in the marina are now locked in. A fellow moorer has posted on his vlog, My Narrowboat Venture news on the start of the project, and he'll be keeping us informed throughout. It'll be rather interesting. Thanks, Alan!


As for us, boating is still a distant memory, and all we have until we get out there next year is our photos. These are from our trip down to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Bancroft Basin was magical.



We moored close to Shakespearian heroes and villains.






We investigated the River Avon. Maybe we'll cruise her one day.







At night, our neighbours were brightly illuminated.


Night-time always makes reality special.







We were there at a time when the basin wasn't very full.



We couldn't leave without seeing an RSC play - Arden of Faversham at The Swan Theatre. Brilliant!


It's a trip we thoroughly recommend.
