We set off at seven and got back to Mercia just after half three, having stopped for lunch at Branston. This is slower going than our usual rate, but the cut was very busy on a sunny Saturday.
Highlights were meeting Mick off Three No Trumps at Alrewas – he very kindly helped Sheila with the lock – and Sheila spotting a mink at Wychnor. It carefully considered where to enter the water, then swam across just submerged.
Elanor cunningly met us at the marina, having expected us to arrive earlier, and gave invaluable aid in the initial sorting out. Daughters are wonderful.
No more blogs for a bit, a couple of weeks in fact, until we go out again to give Elanor a holiday break.
