Maybe if we could wind where it was wider. We grounded again, Oleanna being attracted to the lower water. A touch of reverse then Mick changed our course, slowly moving us along. Oleanna started to ground, we needed to find the deeper water on the port side. Up ahead the new landing stage for the trip boat came into view beside another low bridge and modern housing, one building mimicking an old mill that once stood here. Maryna comes from an Opera background so it will be interesting to see what this brings to her costumes. Such as why there are SO many costume changes and especially why everyone gets changed for the final scene into an outfit just for the walkdown, the Dames costume for this tends to be the most outlandish and impractical outfit known to man that they have to put on in a matter of seconds in the wings. The costume designer, new this year, has not grown up with pantos so there will be a lot of explanations needed. A number of factors have caused the delay in getting started, but the main thing is there is now a team together, a script and we need to crack on with things. With my first panto for Chippy I was at least a couple of weeks ahead of where I am now and somehow I need to catch up. This was mostly parish notices and how everyone has progressed. Over breakfast I worked, putting things into the panto dropbox ready for the first production meeting on Zoom.

I will endeavour to keep posting every day, but the time to write a post will be much reduced whilst I catch up on Panto.Ġ locks, 0 miles, 2nd festival day, 2 paellas, 2 scoops of chilled medication each, 1 handbag, 1 whale, 5 newfies, 2 more loads washing, 1 tank water to top up, 2 boaters ready to move on. Tomorrow it will be time to move on and for me to knuckle down to some serious work. We’ve enjoyed ourselves and have been impressed at the immense organisation of such a huge event. The end of the festivities for another two years. I suspect Tilly and this feline will have had words through the windows over the last few days, we’ve certainly had someone scratching around in one of the troughs of wild strawberries!Īt around 8:30pm the music from the festival lowered and then stopped. As the level lowered we could clearly see that there was enough room for us too, but it was too late to join them.īack at pontoon C a black cat sat right in the middle. Their combined length was around 60ft, Oleanna being 58ft 6″, no chance of us sharing with them if we believed the 107ft 11″. The two narrowboats went into the lock, refusing to let the inflatable canoe in with them. But which of their figures were the actual correct ones? Imperial or metric? Data from the EA! Someone needs to return to school!Įvery boat entering the lock today took it that the lock wasn’t wide enough for two narrowboats side by side, and that the length was 107ft 11″. Then a look on the EA website for lock dimensions had proved confusing and an interesting read as someone had got the conversions between metric and imperial wrong. In our Imray guide book to the Great Ouse the lock is mentioned at being 3.3m wide by 32.9m long. On our Waterway Routes map it gives dimensions as being 10ft 10″ wide by 107ft 11″ long. I’d put a photo up on facebook of Oleanna in the lock and a debate had started as to how many boats you could get in the lock.
