Our gin distillery purchases

Visit to a gin distillery

Having been given a gin distillery tour for Christmas by my eldest daughter and fiancé, We booked up, took a train and bus to Thornbury, just outside Bristol, it was really interesting with lots of tastings, and having promised ourselves we wouldn't buy anything we purchased 2 beautiful balloon gin glasses, a bottle of Slider ( mix of gin and cider ) and a bottle of their artisan 6 o'clock gin.
I managed to get Mark to colour my hair, not once did he ask me if I was going on holiday or give me a selection of magazines to read, and he likened the brushing on of the dye to greasing up an old piece of machinery, they've never said that at my salon !
We've come back to beautiful Bradford on Avon today the weather is fabulous but the canal was really busy loads of hire boats out and we were were lucky enough to get a great mooring where we are now, nice curry for tea and a few beers heading to Bristol tomorrow.

Alternator finally arrived

Another beautiful day in Bath, went into town  to get a new seat for my bike and Mark an inner tube for his, had the obligatory coffee and sat in the sun and people watched ( such a great past time). Mark came back to the boat to fit the alternator ( I did offer ) and I went to Debenhams just to browse of course. Had our evening meal( cooked by Mark)  Al fresco with a couple of beers, just having the one g&t before bed, life is good 😊.
Just read this back to myself and it seems Mark has done everything today and I've just done girlie shopping, which is in fact true, Sorry Mark 😘

Beautiful view of gardens by Sydney Wharf Bridge 

Lovely Bath

We are holed up in Bath waiting a part for the boat ( could think of worst places ). The weather has been dreadful with constant rain, although it has been very warm and it has not stopped us getting out and about exploring this beautiful city. One of our outings was a trip to the launderette, first time in many years,  and as the photo shows some Japanese tourists stood and stared in at us through the window could think of better attractions in Bath and I would be looking for a refund from the tour company if I was them. Hope the engine part doesn't turn up yet I love it here 😊

Unbelievable!....pt1

Breaking news at the laundrette!

How bad can Japan be when they are queuing up to see Mark washing pants????

This is what we do.... Part 1
