We are back! Richard has already
been out twice with a friend and then his son while I waited expectantly for my
new grandson to be born – but more of that in a bit. But this is our first trip together this
year.
If anyone is looking for a dark blue Mary H this year then you won’t see
her! During the winter she went up to
Dave Bixter at Hilmorton Locks and had a paint job. She looks beautiful though there was a slight
scare as they started using the wrong paint and called us up to clarify – thank
goodness we did go as it wasn’t a nice colour at all! We are really pleased and Richard says that he
had lots of nice comments when they were out last month.
We do, however, need to paint the middle of the eyes as I think they
look really evil!
I guess this isn’t actually the first trip for both of us this year as
we took Mary H from Hilmorton to Dunchurch Pools back in April – but that doesn’t
count. Does it??!!
So back to my lovely new grandson.
Bobby Finan Renwick entered the world at 5.30am on Monday June 10th
weighing in at 7lbs 15oz. I was staying
with Robert and Laura for a couple of nights and got woken up at 2am on the Monday
morning to say that they were off to the hospital. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep for the rest
of the night until I got a photo at 6am!
Laura was home at 2.30pm! Bobby
is doing really well both feeding and sleeping. Tobyn wasn’t too sure about at
first about being a big brother but has got over it and seems to love him now. I will be going home a couple of times during
the summer to get a Granny fix. Sorry to
bore you with all the photos – I couldn’t make my mind up which ones to use!

Anyway, let me get back to this blog post being about Mary H and her
summer cruise! We drove up today and had
a good journey. Then it was the bit I
hate – unpacking. I should be used to it
by now, but I still hate it. Everything
has its place, but I think it’s just the pure amount of stuff we bring for the
summer and a British summer too! It was
then a trip to Sainsburys to vittle up – no more shopping until Banbury.
Once the shopping was put away, we decided to leave the marina and spend
the night on the canal where it was much cooler. We only went a mile or so, but it was enough
to find a nice spot.
