Summer Cruise

Original post 03/06/08


Its currently 4.30am and its been lashing it down since i retired to my berth at 1am.
Not looking good for the Thames circle if this rain continues. We have the option of turning left at The junction and heading north on the Grand Onion and then making a descision to do the circle when we get to braunston, The down side to that is, if we do head down to oxford and the rain returns we will be hard pushed to get back to base using the long route.

There are other circles such as the leicester ring but again the river Soar could be in flood.Am I just paniking for no reason.....still 6 days before we cast off!!

managed to get a new TV from Comet yesterday so that was one job off the list, however, I also went armed with my battery for my video camera and upon showing it to each shop assistant it was met with a sucking of teeth and a definate NO, not one that old.......The camera was bought in 2003!!!!!!They did at least suggest I try maplins or Jessups so they are on the list tomorrow......when i eventually get up that is if I manage to get any sleep!

Please stop raining.......Nora wants to visit Hampton Court
