Day Twenty Two – Floating Pontoon – Trent Lock – Wednesday 9th August

It’s up early and out with the morning traffic as we head back to Newark. It was a lovely peaceful night. We weren’t sure what it will be like over the weekend with being so close to the pub, especially as we have finally been graced with some sunshine!

It’s pleasant driving back, until some absolute plonker in a lorry decides to try and see if he can shove us into a traffic light. Honestly what is wrong with some people! Right then I remember why I’m sick of roads and cars. There are way, way too many angry people on the roads and not to mention the bloody pot holes! ((I will try and infiltrate his sat nav and sent him on a journey from hell. No-one messes with my author and gets away with it!)) Ah, thanks Brackets that might be only nice thing you’ve ever said to me. ((well, if anything happens to you then we are both for it. We are like symbiotic beings)) I don’t know whose got the poor end of the deal there!

Visit done and washing machine swapped we head back to our pontoon. As I said the other day this all feels very weird! You know the feeling when you come back off holiday and settle back into normal routine but obviously that isn’t going to happen at the moment. Well, I hope not, else I will have the biggest tantrum ever seen! ((Don’t worry Peachy. I’m sure one day you will achieve your goal of selling more than one book a year and even make some money out of people laughing at you on Youtube and maybe even signing up to Patreon so you can continue creating content. I mean it’s not as if there is anything decent to watch on tv anymore)) I’m sure there was a compliment in there somewhere!

When we arrive back there is a familiar boat moored up and it’s some lovely people who live in our old marina. They left maybe 8 weeks before we did and have had a right adventure and now they are on their return journey to Kings Marina as I hear there is a party as the marina won an Aquavista marina in Bloom competition and well deserved it was! It was lovely to chat with them. After we wandered back to the boat and dinner made it was time to settle down for the evening and enjoy the wonderful sunset.  

Until tomorrow… x
