We cruised along to Newbold to top up with water passing quite a few boats on the move. It was exciting cruising through the tunnel with the coloured Christmassy lights illuminating the inside.
As we approached All Oaks Wood I saw a big rat running away through the car park. I wonder if all the families who come to bring bread and food for the birds realise that they are encouraging rats to multiply? Someone has fixed bird feeding trays onto several tree trunks for this purpose.
The moorings were quite full, but there was just room for us on the end, making us the twelfth boat to moor up.
On Saturday I walked into Brinklow to post some cards while Bottle enjoyed watching the Rugby in peace. The fields hereabouts are full of sheep with their lambs. Well this was a quiet country place until the clay pigeon shooting started, ah! well I suppose it won’t last long! We had a nice drop of rain overnight which gave way to a bright warm day, lovely.
