We’re travelling again, happy days

This was home for the last lockdown, today we got back to cruising, will slowly be heading to The Thames, cruising through Great Bedwyn, Hungerford, Newbury and Reading.    We are grateful that we got to stay here for so long, a peaceful place with healing vibrations, a place where we could connect internally and connect with nature. We need to be in Reading Berkshire for July.  We’ll have a short stay in Reading before heading back on to the Kennet & Avon Canal, I estimate that we’ll be East of the Kennet & Avon Canal, up until about September, (Reading – Newbury – Hungerford – Great Bedwyn).  Anyone wishing to book for locks maintenance or installing fresh locks and would like to take advantage of Berkshire and West Berkshire locations, please get in touch as soon as possible.

Visits from woodland critters

 

One of the magical privileges living earth way, is when we get critters visiting our home. Problem is they don’t stay still long enough to get a photo.  Anyway here are three visitors I managed to catch with the camera.  First pic was a domestic duck gone feral, she stayed close by for several weeks, often helping herself up the gang plank. The second a beautiful bumble bee and third a baby rabbit, both safely caught and released.
 
Obviously we are surrounded by wildlife and on privileged occasions, we get to witness them wandering by.  Deer, fox and water vole are frequent, many birds, especially kingfisher, owls, woodpeckers, cranes and cuckoos.  A special treat, later in the day, we have otters swimming and frolicking about the boat, only had a glimpse of them tho.  
 
These are just some of the wonders travelling the waterways, I love this life.
