We had a lovely couple of days in Bath, walked all round the city with Sal (she was a star – she doesn’t like lots of traffic or people but she’s getting more confident all the time and did really well!). We found back roads and footpaths so that […]
We spent four days on our lovely mooring spot just outside Hilperton/Trowbridge, then we moved to Bradford on Avon and found another lovely spot; stayed there for two days. Bradford on Avon is a very picturesque town with lovely riverside walks. (River Avon and the […]

Our annual two week summer holiday this year was spent on Sanguine – a different kind of cruise to our normal choice! We did a few odd jobs on the Saturday and Sunday, then set off on Monday morning for our holiday. Ali and Rob […]
