It was a bit grey and Sunday, so we were in no rush to set off, plus we weren't going very far and there is no risk of not getting onto a mooring, there are so few boats moving.
We found a lovely spot to moor up, this is the view from the kitchen porthole, how lucky are we!
We are pretty certain that this is the same place we moored up on our very first night on a canal boat when we hired from Black Prince, 6 years ago - that day was a bit different from today! We were on Mike's boot camp itinerary and cruised for something like 12 hours, quite a bit of it was in the rain and it was almost dark when we stopped (it was June so didn't get dark till about 9:00 pm) - both Liz and I can still remember Rod's disgust when we offered him soup and a sandwich, as he stood on the deck, tiller in hand looking like a drowned rat!!!! He got a fry up in the end! Those of you that know him well, know he has trouble "moving, on" and this is one of those things that he can't get over, bless him :-)).
We are going to have a nice quiet afternoon, light the log burner and watch a film, after we have lunch Soup and a Sandwich!!!
