Living on a Narrowboat Diary

Glenn gets up super early to go to work with Jeff, he travels in a low loader to deliver dumper trucks to the north of England while I visit my mum. I put up some new curtains at mums, and go and get fish and chips for lunch. I pick up some flowers to drop off at Mirimar’s. I had forgotten to pick the Hello Fresh meals so we get a random selection.

I didn’t record much today but what I did revolves around food! We started the day with a coffee and a slice of ’Stollen’. It was nothing like what it was supposed to be but was the perfect pairing to our morning coffee. Later in the day, we return to Tring for another walk around the town, this time we head up to the National History Museum - I can’t wait till it reopens and we can take a look around. On our way out of the town, we stop and buy a coffee and the best sausage roll I HAVE EVER TASTED! We will be definitely returning there! In the evening we have a Chinese Meal in a bag from Waitrose and tonight's beverage of choice is a barrel-aged cola from Holland & Barrett - all in all, quite a delicious day!

We wake up to find the canal had frozen and we had ice on the inside of the window! I decide to make Stollen to use up some store cupboard ingredients. I ring my mum and can’t get an answer, I start to worry but fortunately, everything was ok! A CRT workboat passes by and breaks the ice. Glenn gets the car stuck and after much pushing, we admit defeat and Jeff comes to our rescue. The stollen takes much more effort than I originally thought, I end up cutting corners and shoving the whole thing in the oven.

It snowed!!! It snowed pretty much all day so we stayed home. Glenn chopped some wood for the fire and then lifted the kitchen floor to replace a couple of broken flooring. He was really concerned to see water in the bilge.
