Before I became an eccentric hermit I would always use the toll road when travelling that way, so much better than the alternative even if I did detest paying that amount of money to do so.

These days it's not a problem as I try not to leave Mancland

I shall wave as I go past any signs to Manchester, I am heading further north to a place called Forton

Contactless? Pay Tag? Google Wallet? I believe even i-phone users have some rudimentary system available to them.

I am loving Android Pay, just popped to Aldi, forgot my purse, phone to the rescue!

This morning, Mrs. 66 broke wind, loudly, much to the amusement of our four year old.

She (the four year old) said that she was going to tell her teacher that "mum did a really loud fart, and it stank".

I really, really hope she made good on that promise.

But ladies don't fart.

Well except for @hopless500, she sounds like a German Oompah Band tuning up.

I am confused, I am going here - Forton, Lancs

Brrrr... it's nippy out there. I've just done an hour and half at the tiller no my bits are frozen. Mr R is doing the last hour to where we'll be morning for the night.

Where are you now then?

 

[Smithbat]

Just passed through Braunston. We're heading on for about an hour before mooring up for the night


I've just made a late lunch of cheese on toast for Mr R and I.

Oooh did you go through Braunston Tunnel? Isn't that a really long one?

Never been to Braunston Marina, is there a pub/cafe there. I do like a walk along a canal bank

 

[TVC]

There's a pub at the foot of the hill, on the canal. A Harvester... but it does have outdoor decking overlooking the canal and - if you arrive by boat - you can moor up outside.

Just had a look on google maps, is it the Boathouse you are talking about? To the south of the marina is the Admiral Nelson, I've just checked it out, interesting menu and reasonable reviews. The whole thing is only 20 miles from me, so perhaps a mooch round there is required when I am well again.

 

[tyred]

I'm hungry.

 

[TVC]

....and perhaps a glass of beer later, Reg?

Which reminds me, Hills and Hops are quiet today.

Where ever he is, it is already tomorrow morning.
