We woke to very fine light drizzle and not a breath of wind, the drizzle stopped at 10 am and we made ready to set off, then it started again like no tomorrow. looking round it was the same as far as I could see and no wind, so probably set in for the day. Down below and long mac on, lo and behold it stopped and we had a dry run. We waved goodbye to the mast and set off.
Not much to report on such a short journey, we did pass this tree stump that someone has take a lot of trouble to carve, what would you pay for something like that in your garden and here it is by the towpath for free.
The old wooden footbridge is weathering in nicely, it looked very stark to start with, especially after the one it replaced which was very rustic.
Our target for today was Fenny Compton but then we spotted a nice length pf piling just before bridge 135. Its just long enough for one boat to get on, so rather than risk getting to Fenny and finding all the moorings full we have tucked in here for the night. We were moored in good time for lunch, a nice bit of smoked Salmon and the Turkey is in the oven for this evening.
So all that remains is for me to wish you all a very merry Christmas.
