It was dry when we went to bed last night but it didn’t last long and the rain was soon beating down on the roof which continued most of the night, The very light drizzle this morning had cleared up before we set off. We we were rather late getting away as we had to check out the cooked breakfast at the wharf, I am just glad we had the small breakfast and not the full English.
1115hrs and we were on our way, as we approached the moorings on the bend at Dadlington there were loads of geese of varying breeds feeding on the
rather wet stubble field. On the bend a swan was requesting that the occupants of a parked car to feed him, its not just boats they visit.
This is another view of the moorings we used a couple of night back at Stoke Golding.
The day by now was quite pleasant, no wind and the sun kept popping out for a bit, but you wouldn’t call it warm. By the time we moored up it was quite overcast again.
Some boat dogs love to bound about on the roof, bark at every passing boat through the windows where as others are just so laid back it not true.
This one was enjoying a bit of lunch time weak sunshine while its owner topped up with water.
Tonight we are moored in exactly the same spot as we were five nights ago, well away from the A5 and the railway.
