We had a leisurely start this morning, as there was no point in getting to Great Haywood too soon. We were able to say a fond farewell to Graham and Carolann as we passed Autumn Years, and plodded merrily on through classic November weather, damp and misty, to lock up Colwich and then Great Haywood.
Ann from Moore 2 Life happened to meet us there, and we were able to have a quick natter. They’ve just been in the marina for a couple of nights, and were out and about again.
The turn into the marina is a bit fiddly, but once inside there's plenty of room for manoeuvre. We went down to the service point for a pump out and to fill with diesel, then went across to our berth.
Having got tied and sorted, we walked back to the reception to pay for the first three months and sign what needed to be signed. We’ve spent the rest of the day getting all hooked up and so on, and Sheila ran a washload.
The only fly in the ointment is that the local Post Office doesn’t sell postage boxes (“no call for them”) so it’s in to Stafford by bus in the morning; the eBay auction of our Sony eBook readers ends tomorrow, and we want to be ready to post them off.
