We’ve had drone day so we thought we would add drudge day.  In reality the work was rather satisfying and the walk very pleasant.

We adjusted the fenders fore and aft, refilled the greaser and sent some pictures of the water to system to Pat’s son Trevor.

We walked to the Fox and Goose for lunch but…it was closed.  How can a pub be closed for Friday lunch time?  A short cut back to Oliver meant beating our way through long grass, avoiding stinging nettles but finding some wild orchids.

We arrived back on board just before the rain.  It was heavy with thunder and lightening.

So what can one do?

We set off a little later, after the rain, stopping for Judith and Romy to take turns turning Oliver in the winding hole both very successfully.

We arrived at Consall Forge just in time to order dinner before last orders at 20:30. £8.95 for fish and chips and a pint.
