Monday 26 March 2012 Back Home

It was quite cold again last night, dropping below freezing and we woke up to a thick cold mist.
Before setting off we took the dog for a walk along the bank, we had gone about 250 yards when a deer ran straight towards us and only veered off when less than a 100 yards away and then only skirted round us on the field. needless to say I didn’t have the camera with me.

We set off at 10 am and by now it was bright warm sunshine and the cut was dead straight, passing under several bridges, including a railway bridge. We were lucky enough to see a pair of Buzzards very low over the river and also a Barn Owl circling over the river and adjoining fields.

Over in the distance we could see the smoke from the brick works drifting over the country side.

Down at Angle Corner where the 20 foot river joins the Whittlesey Dyke. There it is a very sharp left turn, probably a bit less than 90° and none to wide. We were now back on familiar territory and its just a steady run back to our moorings arriving at 12-30 pm.
