We arrived in Rugby yesterday. 24 locks in the last few days. Today the sun has been great today , after such a cold damp week again.
We took a walk into town. Rugby has some beautiful old buildings, and its nice to be moored somewhere and to have Internet and a good tv signal.
We have stopped in some lovely places , it nice to have a different view from our windows every day. Having moved house 18+ times we like a change of scenery and being on the boat gives us just that. If we feel like a bit of city life we can have it on the other hand we can have the peace and quiet of the countryside with no neighbours, well maybe a field of sheep or cows !
The only problem with liking change we have no choice on how we have our furniture on the boat its all built in ! Luckily we are happy with it all.
Before we leave Rugby tomorrow morning we will go to Wickes that is nearby and buy some concrete blocks to put in the hull , base of the boat. We have a slight balance problem. Everything is built in on the port side of the boat, bed, bathroom, kitchen and sofa etc. the balance was probably ok until we filled the wardrobe , the drawers and the kitchen cupboards etc. We have a good supply of food items tins cartons boxes bottles and packets etc. the downsize is that it all weighs such a lot.
Les has already put a few concrete blocks and bricks in the hull of the starboard side but more is needed. The floorboards are easy enough to lift. We will take the opportunity of having a DIY store nearby and make this adjustment tomorrow. We will not get a store closer than this one.
