Devizes has been a different part of our experience. It was a little of deja-vu, as this is where the Wandering Canuck was purchased, and where we started our canal experience some 18 months ago. I drove with Pat and Kerry to Devizes, stopping in Oxford along the way to revisit the summer of 2013 and our canal trip there. A brief shopping trip, a little tour, and a pub experience made a great break in the drive, then off to Devizes and time with our friends Nick and Chris.

Pat and Chris are quilting  buddies and Chris is the guru of artistic quilting in Britain, coordinating a show in Bristol. They put the show up on the 12th, and opened the show this morning. Nick had some domestic stuff to attend to, so we walked around the Devizes market this morning, and replaced a faucet this afternoon. Such is  life outside the boat!

We are off to Scotland tomorrow, and will enjoy the trip in two stages. We will also hopefully outpace the rain that has been soaking this part of the country over the past 3 days.

About Ed Mortimer

I'm a retired school teacher, now living on my Dutch cruiser in France. I'm touring as much of the canals and river systems as I can. This blog describes what I do and where I've been. I did spend 5 years on first a narrowboat, and then this boat, in Britain.
