Narrowboat Alacrity

We only decided to visit Alacrity first thing on Saturday, the weekend looked promising weather wise and the back pain Jo had been suffering from all week was on the mend and she felt well enough for the drive up.

It had only been three weeks since our last visit and already the spiders had decided to move back to their old haunts and breed………………thus a mass spider cull was in order we tried the humane method of chasing them out of the windows but as one was persuaded to leave two more would scamper in on the other side .

Afters general spring clean Alacrity was pronounced habitable. next was a shopping trip to Tesco in Daventry to stock up on staples as some of the tinned food was showing a sell by date of 2004. and the cleaning materials had taken a serious hit.

Fortified by the thought of a coffee in Tesco before shopping we set off only to find the store had totally removed the coffee shop in favour of a larger customer services area……………oh bum…………
