Our Son & Grandson Visit

Very sorry for lack of Blog posts, we have had our Son Justin and grandson Hudson visit us since last Sunday and as you can imagine we have had a fantastic time. However here is an update on what we have been upto.

Wednesday we left our mooring and moved on to Fenny Compton where we had arranged to Meet N/B Dusty which is a fuel and coal boat as we needed some diesel and coal. Fenny Compton is a nice mooring and we waited for Dusty to turn up, 77 lts of diesel and 6 bags of coal were loaded onboard Tacet.

Thursday we left Fenny Compton the forecast was not very good but we new we needed to move on, however the cruise we had was wonderful we had beautiful sunshine with us all the way to Cropredy.
We filled with water and emptied the rubbish and cruised up to bridge for the night. The wind picked up at night and we thought that it would be bad on Friday.
Lovely Cruising day

Friday we woke to quite high winds but decided to set off to Banbury as the canal is quite shielded we had a very good cruise in to Banbury. We rounded the last corned in to Banbury and found that the spot we have moored at before twice was free so moored there again. 

Sunday morning we were very excited as Justin our eldest son and grandson Hudson are coming to see us for a few days. We are really excited to be seeing them. Thy are only staying with us until Thursday.
We had planned to do some things with Justin and Hudson as we had the use of the car.
So we visited Stratford upon Avon for the day and Hudson enjoyed looking for his christmas present.
We also went to a lovely play centre so Hudson and his dad with Grandad could play on the frames.
We had a good walk around Banbury and Hudson picked some more things he wanted Father christmas to bring him as he's been a very good boy this year.
On Wednesday it was Eddys Birthday so Hudson along with Nanny made a cake for Him.

Nanny and Grandad spoilt Hudson whilst onboard Tacet and he went home with his dad with lots of toys he had picked. We have had a truly wonderful time with Justin and Hudson and were very sad when we had to say goodbye to them today. 
Tacet is very quiet with out them on board,
