We set off from Aldermaston on Friday just after lunch.
We had Dgs with us, he is 13 and very useful helping with the locks. We moored at The Cunning Man pub, had a meal there and stayed over night.
In the morning our son in law collected Dgs and dropped off the Dgd who hadn't been on a boat trip yet.
We went through the Oracle shopping center and along the Kennet and Avon then on to the Thames at Caversham.
We moored at Tesco, did some shopping and Dgs was collected by her dad.
We then moved on to Sonning where we paid £10 to moor for the night.
Today we stopped at Henley for lunch, I made a ploughmans for us.
We have now moved on to Marlow where we have found a quiet mooring for the night.
We find it best to moor up by 4 or 5 o'clock otherwise it can turn in to a bit of a scramble to find somewhere.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

It all sounds wonderful Hester.
Oh how great retirement will be, to have the freedom to go where and when you please. Did the grandchildren enjoy their trips?
Have fun.
It is Tania, it's a great life.
Rambler, The children love their boat trips.
Regine, we will do.
I didn't know you could go by narrowboat to Aldermaston, I thought you had to march there, ha ha! Oh, I'm showing my age, sorry Hester! Only joking!
How lovely just to toddle off, in a manner of speaking, somewhere else to set up camp, or what the equivalent is for the boaty fraternity.
