Also in the air we had Red kite's . A bird of prey that we have really enjoyed watching as it soars over the Chiltern hills.
On Saturday we had a walk down to the reservoir that feeds water into the Wendover arm.
Water being pumped into the arm from the pump station.
On Sunday we set off to have a look at the work being carried out by The Wendover Trust.
On Monday I was told that I had to go shopping with her ladyship so it was out with the bikes and we cycled into the town of Tring . Only a small town but they had everything we needed. We did some shopping in M&S but isn't it expensive ?. so we just bought the basics in there. I did buy some home made pork scratchings in a local butchers and they were very tasty.
On the way back I got another puncture but luckily not far from the boat. Good job I bought 2 extra puncture repair kits as we have had so many punctures and every one has been caused by Hawthorne needles.
On Tuesday afternoon Carolyn decided to do some fishing.
While Carolyn was fishing there was the continuous sound of a boat horn. Oh said she "there must be another boat coming". No Carolyn you are resting the fishing reel on the horn button..... Another dopey moment...
Solar update
We have now not ran the engine for 4 day's .On mornings where we have had sunshine the batteries are fully charged by 10.30 in the morning. And today (Tuesday) where it is overcast the panels are putting in 5.2 amps which should avoid us running it again today. Before we had the panels we used to run the engine for over 3 hours a day, so far it looks like a very good decision to have them fitted.
Happy days
