We spent a few days travelling from Childe Beale to Sonning. We stopped outside Tesco in Caversham to buy milk, the signs say the charge to stop or moor there is £100 even if you stop for just a few minutes. I cannot find anyone who has paid this though. We then moved on to Sonning, below Sonning lock the mooring cost £5.50 a night, above the lock it costs £10 a night. We managed to find a space below the lock, the first night is free.
There was no satellite signal, no phone signal and no Wi-Fi signal, it was a bit of a black hole. But it's so hot that I was glad just to sit and read.
This morning we turned around and set off back towards the Kennet and Avon, one of the locks was faulty and I managed to break my thumb, it's only the top part so it's not too inconvenient but I cannot bend my thumb as it is stiff and swollen.

Oh bum. Hurting too no doubt. Hope it heals quick.
That must hurt and make things very difficult. Glad you were able to moor without incurring expensive charges.
Oh no! How did you do that? Sending lots of sympathy. Hugs x
Will you need to get it checked by a doctor? x
Ouch, that sounds bad especially when you are so active and use your hands so much. I do hope it doesn't give you too much pain and will heal quickly.
I'd say breaking any part of a digit is very inconvenient when you use your hands as much as you do Sue.

Ouch!!! Steve's turn to do the washing up, then. But with a damaged thumb there are any number of things that are difficult or impossible to do. Wishing you a quick healing and an end to the pain & inconvenience. Have a (((((hug))))), Sue. x
