Weekend news

Well, Saturday morning and the sun was shining, Steve, Julia and James were up on NB Even Balance so we all left at about mid-day and headed up towards Battlefield. The rain just about held off with a few showers as we arrived but the sun was shining so much as I left Hinckley that I spotted this little terrapin sun bathing on a branch beside the canal. Enjoyed a very pleasant weekend and returned back this afternoon in torrential rain, thunder and flashes of lightening! At least the wind was kind and dropped in time for my return to the marina. Spent the rest of the afternoon, hoovering, ironing, taking on water and school work.

Oh, I did fill up with diesel and get a bag of coal from our local working boat 'Ghostly Hill' just as it was getting dark on Saturday evening.
