Monday, another nice day.

A very cold night, but with the coal fire burning all day and night. the boat's a lot cosier now when it's frosty outside as it was last night. But the sun rose early and started warming things up including the boat. Above is a view of our mooring on the side of a hill overlooking the R. Anker valley at Polesworth. 


A not particularly early start saw us get back to Atherstone for more shopping. Not very many photos taken en-route, but this one appealed as most daddy ducks tend to be absentee fathers; not so this one with his seven offspring: 

We moved on a little way further and stopped at another scenic location far enough away from the busy mainline railway that seems to be following the canal here. I couldn't decide which of three photos of tonight's mooring to put in, as they all show different aspects, so I've put them all in. Sounds like a wet day tomorrow, but never mind, we've been lucky so far. That's it for today.
