Up and Down Outside Warwick.




We had a very quick run into Leamington yesterday (Fri) as the weather was doing its normal thing of blowing a gale and threatening to soak anyone who dared venture forth.
A very speedy trip to the shopping centre and then an afternoon of listening to the rain pound the roof.

Suuummer time, and the raaain is faalling, fish are jumping, and the cotton is high..............apparently if I sing that one more time something is going to happen to me.
Best I shut up then.



A very young Moorhen on its daily scrounge, but they are soooo cute, who can resist giving them all our daily bread.
I can for one, as its my brekkie bread disappearing down its neck.




Another "fine ship", this little gem was moored behind us the other day outside of a pub that is half a day away from its permanent moorings at this house.
Saves driving home I suppose.



We have been past this garden three times now and each time I think it is worthy of a comment on the Blog. The sun house is turned away from the canal as are all the garden benches, this seems very odd to me as all they are looking at is the back of their own house and missing out on the waterway and all it can offer.





Passing the Kate Boats hire yard whilst it is in full changeover mode, this was completely devoid of boats on Monday. They must now all be refueled and cleaned etc ready for the next lot of hirer's this afternoon. Three have passed us while I have been typing this, all full of the next lot of happy holiday makers.
Those boats have a hard life.





Now, hows that for a warm welcome to a canal branch. We did venture in looking for a nights moorings but very soon left again.
You wanna stay for the night? Drawled a man with great big hoops in each ear.
If you do, get right dahn the end, arwight?

Errr, no thanks we are just turning,
Bye.


Until next time................................................
