Hinckley......Still.

TV reception has a lot to answer for!

Rather than risk moving Ubique out of reception range for tonight's telly, (Archie? Archie who?) I thought we should stay here.

This will mean all my limbs will still be connected to me come tomorrow.

Mind you though, we could be moored in a worse place than this.






The snow fell really heavily yesterday, letting us know there is still more winter to come and we are not quite out of the woods yet.
It is thawing very quickly today though, and that field should be clear by tonight.








TV aerial at maximum extension and the batteries fully charged, logs chainsawed for a cosy fire, wine chilling in the fridge alongside the steak, I've done my bit for tonight.

So then..................... Whodunnit?




A Coot!
We don't see very many of these on the canals believe it or not, they do seem to be more suited to rivers and lakes. There was another one following along, so they may be a breeding pair.

Crunchie, what can you say about Crunchie?
She has moved aboard, settled almost immediately and worst of all........taken over my seat!
She seems to be a cat who has no ambition or desire to be very far away from the fire or her food bowl. (A fine quality for a boat cat)
This is to the extent that we had the front doors open today loading the freshly cut logs into the log box and she just sat there watching us, one quick bound could have taken her out into the snow but she was not interested at all............

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