New Year's Day

It was a stormy, wet, windy and unpleasant day! We were all slow to get up this morning - despite the fact that we had not stayed up too late. Mike and Christine only just survived until midnight! Earlier we had all seen some of the local firework displays in the skies around.  The scale of modern fireworks means that they can be seen from quite a distance - no need to go up close.

Shortly before noon we wrapped up, packed bags and walked to the car so that we could take the two girls back home for one night. We did not stay too long at Windsor and came back to the boat via a brief shop at Tesco. They were out of Guardians so we tried the nearby petrol station only to discover that today they do not take our pre-paid tokens (they did a couple of days ago!). So it was back to the local newsagent near the marina.

As soon as we were back inside, little would persuade us to foray outside! Apart from a few minutes when Mike had to re-position the tv dish so that he could add the clamp to make it more secure in the wind. It took some time to recover. otherwise it was a pleasant afternoon reading and computering! Sorry, no pix.
