A blog about our big adventure on our narrowboat 'Amarantine'

Amarantine calls time!

For those of you who have been following my blog or Facebook you will know we have had a pretty rotten time of it recently.

The trip has now turned into an impossibility completely.  I have to go into hospital every day now for treatment, not compatible with boating.

I am home and Ken is now in the process of getting our boat back to Peterborough yacht club on our home mooring.

 We are planning on doing other things this year now.  We have a little Sportscar Z3 so will be able to make a bit more of her.  We're also toying with motorbikes.  

We won't be bored, I'm sure.

So on this sad note I am afraid I am calling time on Amarantine's Adventure for now.

Bye folks and thanks for following my blog.

Plodding along

My apologies for not blogging more frequently just lately.  From my,previous post you may have gathered that we have both been very much not ourselves.

My last log was nearly three weeks ago.  Since then I have been back to Peterborough yet again and Ken has had more medication to try and fix his wheeziness.

I am pleased to report that Ken is now much improved, almost better than he was before.  Unfortunately not a lot has changed for me.  Still suffering with the shingles.  To add to this my regular treatment has now been scheduled for every week.  This has seriously messed up our holiday.  The plan is to now pootle around on the canals within about an hour and a half from home.  Please come and visit someone.  I am missing our travel buddies Brenda and Mick who have gone on to do the original trip.

I am also peed off because I cannot work it how to put photos onto this blog without chopping off people's heads!!

We will be home for a night on the 19th then every Tuesday after that.  If you want to visit contact me on Facebook or email at Lynda.freeman@btinternet.com.

We are moored at Rugely for tonight, tomorrow we are heading to one of our favourite places - Alrewas.  I hope to be able to post something more interesting in my next blog but at the moment we are not the ravers we usually are!!
