Well… ‘river’ anyway!
We picked up Val and joined David, Nick and Celina at Buckden Marina to spend a day on D and V’s boat – Osprey One.
It was unusually good weather for a bank holiday – sunshine… and more sunshine! – and the plan was to sail to the nearest pub and have lunch… and then sail back again. We cast-off just after 10 and headed towards Godmanchester. Ann had prepared various nibbles and they kept us going until we got to the Pub!
We wandered down the busy high street and eventually discovered The Weeping Ash. We easily found a table inside and were soon perusing the very extensive menu. Service was swift and the food was great. Nick’s burger was even better value as he got a free pint with his!
Then it was back on board and time to head back towards Buckden Marina. The river was pretty quiet and so we didn’t have to queue too long for locks, arriving back around 6pm. David stayed on board (planning to sleep over) whilst the rest of us headed home.
What a great day!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
