Day 1 - Stretton to Rodbaston
Day 2 - Rodbaston to Wolseley Bridge
Short days and rural tie-ups being among the concomitants of having a cat on board. A litter tray under the bed which is used just as you are dropping off, and a constant supply of fresh mice being others.
Cooking on the Epping... Yesterday I sliced up some leeks, carrots and celery, poured on some water, added a layer of sliced potatoes, a tin of stewed steak, and another layer of potatoes, stuck it on top of the stove for five hours, and presto, very acceptable hotpot. Best of all, it didn't catch and stick and burn onto the pot. I put this down to the layer of veg in the bottom - nothing too starchy or sticky. Today I started with an onion and a red pepper, added some rice (easy cook) along with the recommended amount of water, and topped it off with two tins of veggie chilli. Three and a half hours yielded a flavoursome and satisfyingly stodgy supper, with plenty left over for a cold lunch, and again, an easy to clean casserole. As I am working my way back through the table cupboard, tomorrow will be an experiment with ratatouille and green lentils.
Spotted a new boat for my collection today, looking fabulous - Aber. Not going to Braunston, sadly for the rest of us.
Past you today just before Ashwood cruising club, I think you were more engaged with Oslo (?) who was very close up behind me as I went through the gap between the cruising club boats and a end of garden mooring. I am not sure he hung back as he should have done being on the tow path side of the passing
