New Years Eve

Just got sorted for two nights away with our lad and the two kids near Mungrisdale on a C&CC small site with metered leccy for £62.

On with tracking down a meal for New Year’s Day now. I think we’ll be ok because we are a “bubble” so should count as one household for a meal.

Happy days.

Cheers

Think I’ve only been home in this country twice in over 30 years. We always try to go somewhere warm maybe Mexico Florida somewhere hot re charge the batteries. This year I’m looking forward to doing nowt. Didn't relies how much I was spending on these exotic jaunts its one of the most expensive times to go abroad and the older you get the hotels become more expensive. Gonna go into the new year with some extra shekels in my pocket.

See what happens when you become a grandad.
Cosy nights in by the fire, you can't get to excited at your age.

Normally we spend both Christmas and New year away. Have done for decades. Cottage on the Isle of Arran or the Lake district, couple of times the Canary Islands and also more recently away in the van but the last couple of years we have been at home so thats what we will do this year again. Not a big fan of New Years eve anyway. My favourite is a toss up between the Christmas and New year we spent in Tenerife when the weather was exceptionally good and hot and the one we spent in the Lake District in the van 2011 I think where there was loads of snow and blue skys and winter wonderland. Jet skiing on Christmas day before going to a Carol concert in shorts and flip flops was fun. Seems a long time ago now :(
 
We will do what we always do every New Years Eve.. we chug our boat up to the Swan Inn at Fradley junction from Barton Marina, moor up, get a few DVDs on and crack open the gin bottle with a nice Indian takeaway curry (sadly the pub will be closed this year due to covid otherwise we would be in there counting down the minutes of a shite 2020) we will then wake up New Years Day (at some point) and chug it back to the marina doing the 7 locks with a bloody hangover.. I cant wait.. (good job missis Joy is the lock monkey and all I have to do is steer the boat :) )

we looked at a Norman 23 a few years ago.. a nice boat but ended up buying a Burland 26.. that was destroyed in a fire at the marina in 2016.. so I bought the Viking 32.. I miss the Burland though as much more manouverable and didnt need to drop the canopy to go under low bridges etc

Yeah looking at that front port side you clearly steer it after a few sherbets! :ROFLMAO:

Miss my boat. I used have it on Windermere in the winter. Nothing better than a blast up to Ambleside for a few beers on a sunny afternoon. Well there is, doing it on a hot sunny afternoon in summer :(
