Fieldes Weir Approach

We've arrived!! We ended up having a late night last night as word got round we were back on the 'Old Manor' and visitors started arriving thick and fast. This would be a very quick pit stop and if you want to see us it needs to be before Friday.  We have booked passage back through London on Monday 23rd and we need to be off of Silver Blue and on Viking and ready to go by then!!  Yog went to get Viking early in the morning and I was awoken by his arrival at 7.30am.  I think he had woken up the whole river on his way through as she does roar as she goes along lol  Had the statutory two cups of tea and then started to pack everything we owned into boxes and bags ready to move it all into Viking again! This will be the 7th time we have moved in a lot less years and it never gets any easier.  
Wednesday 18th
Had a bit of a lay in today but was up and moving bags and boxes pretty much straight away.  Luckily we had help from Mark, Ross and Jack.  Jack and Ross ended up having the hardest day as after they had helped us move off they had to move Jack and Amy's stuff on!! They are going to be Silver Blues mummy and daddy while we are away in the Midlands exploring.  
Thursday 19th

Kitchen Unpacked and ready for action!!

Today is sort out day, sort out the water pipes, make sure there are no leaks.  Sort out the fire and the calorifier make sure all is OK there too.  Sort out the gas, make sure the Morco is working and we have hot water.  Clean the cooker and unpack the kitchen, etc.  Sort out the mass of bags and boxes that are strewn all over the floor space leaving just enough room for you to pick a path through. Go to sort out passage with BW to see that they have emailed confirmation for Monday already!!  Transfer RCR over to Viking and check insurance is valid etc.  Brilliant, everything is present and correct and in good working order.  The fire is alight and heating the water for our first bath in months and we are currently arguing over who's first in lol
