When I looked out this morning the sun was shining but when we set off at half 10 it was quite dull with no wind and not too cold, up passed Charity Dock
and on to Marston Junction, straight ahead to Atherstone where we stopped for a few minutes to catch up with Peter, an ex-boater who we have known for many years. I have tried many times to get a good photo of this house with a mirror on the balcony, not as good as in the flesh but trying to work out the roof line is interesting .
The CRT long term moorings at Tuttle Hill are now vacant, that must be a loss of income of about £12K a year to CRT I would have thought.
Our original plan was to go to the top of Atherstone tonight but as the weather started to close in and
get more murky we made Hartshill our new planned destination. I don’t think I would want to live on a boat opposite the bone factory or whatever it is. Yesterday I posted a photo of a hat on a chimney, today its a dog.
We carried on past the CRT Hartshill yard and moored for the night a short way before bridge 33.
