It's been a very pleasant day; it wasn't as cold as expected overnight, the sun came out and we had a gentle stroll through the village to buy a paper first(ish) thing.
Back on board, various bits of IT housekeeping were done, and then a relaxed lunch consumed.
Elanor and Sally arrived at one o'clock as planned, and we had a more energetic walk up to Fradley and along the moorings on the Coventry Canal. A lot of the boats which were tied on the main vistor moorings have gone, so that there's now a lot of room.
Round the corner we found Braidbar number 52, Maid of the Mist, but didn't have a chance to chat to them. Below Hunts Lock, Waterlily seemed to be occupied, so on the way back we tried giving them a hail. There was no response; we concluded that either they were in the pub, or had staggered back from it and were "resting" in the boat. ;)
Tomorrow, Elanor will give me a lift into Burton first thing, and we'll visit Morrison's on the way back. If the weather is still good, we'll all take Sanity Again up to Fradley, from where Elanor and Sally can walk back to collect their car.

Bruce,
Sorry we missed you - yes we were in the Swan consuming their carvery (not all of it - some seemed to be trying)
I had lit the fire as we were expecting to go back after the pub but my father in law was tired so he opted to go back to the car and I settled the fire and locked her back up :-( Blog with a couple of photos tomorrow.
If you are ever stuck for a mooring at Fradley you are welcome to breast up - a small overhang (20 feet) should be ok with my neighbours.
Take care
Nev
