| Quercy sitting on mud at Marigny-sur-Yonne, next to Mornington Croissant! |
Julian has made the trip by train to Burgundy to winterise the boat. He took a tarpauline to put over the wheelhouse. When he got there he fixed the a faulty pump by removing the built in fridge freezer and clearing out 6 years of gunge from around the filling hole of the grey water tank (after that is worked perfectly) He then removed the starter motor ready for that to go and be repaired (that broke last time we were there, resulting in us being stuck in a lock and having to pull ourselves out amongst other things) Then the central heating system packed up. So having a barge is not all plain sailing! Julian has also developed bad cold en-route, so he has had to deal with this in between coughing and sneezing. Meanwhile back in England, I developed a bad case of food poisoning whilst in Corfe Mullen with our friends Liz and Steve, who were quite worried and brilliant nurses. Back home now with Tigger who was VERY pleased to see me.
